Caesarean section

Oh for Osmosis. Will have to do with E for Elective.

Would you take your bottom lip and pull it over your head? Would you take a chicken drumstick and pull it through your nostril? Nah. Thought not. Me neither. Personal choice. Don't sue me.

The Ancient Roman c-section was first performed to remove a baby from the womb of a mother who died during childbirth. Not on Caesar's mother, tho' apparently. In 1316 the future Robert II of Scotland was delivered by caesarean section. So, you see, they've known how to do it for a long time but the tricky part was keeping the mothers alive in the process.

But, hurrah, hurrah, for modern medicine.

Oh, good Lord someone did a caesarean on herself. Now that's not necessary. Altho' it was apparently coz the nearest midwife was 50 miles away in rural Mexico and her husband the bastard was drinking at the cantina at the time.

She also downed a few before performing the procedure which strikes me as a bloody good idea. Please don't try that it home tho', coz apparently she's the only known person to have survived doing such a thing.

Nothing to do with labour makes for good reading in my view. It all starts off well and informative but then percentage mortality rates start being thrown around and one is forced to move on and avert ones eyes, really.

You too, dear. Don't be looking over the curtain.

Hopefully one goes home with shittruckloads of high schedule painkillers.

Fistfuls.
