<ayurveda>Iatrogenic diseases, pregnancy

[Guest guest]

Dr Bhate presents a great research from our own archives.

 

But this is also an excellent way to say that Practicing Doctors know less than

Midwivwes.

Its almost like saying Doctors know less than Medical students, who know less

than the nurses, who know less than the technicians who work in hospitals, who

know less than the various non-medical people who work at the hospital like the

garage attendants, etc......

 

For every case , as the one you mention, and I do empathize with their

problems, one should ask hundreds of women, whether they actually benefitted

from going to doctors, and getting epidurals. We cannot generalize on the entire

profession of medicine based on anecdotal stories.

 

Your one statement says it all. The women bring all of this upon themselves--by

becoming pregnant. I guess, not becoming pregnant will help in propagation of

the human race.

 

We have to understand that pregnancy is an extremely "trying " circumstance for

the woman , and all pregnancies are not same. Many babies and mothers actually

end up being rescued by Modern Medicine. Many mothers that do come to midwives

for a " natural childbirth" , do ask for Epidurals, and also end up in

C-Sections, because of complicated childbirth.

 

You do bring up anexcellent question though----which Doctors also ask

themselves--why do the animals need less doctors than humans ? And an additional

corollary to that same question is --the first cave man sought help because of

pain or fever. And inspite of all our advances, people in 2005 still seek

medical help for pain and fever, and for Cosmetic surgery !!
