You are a midwife nurse and you are in the delivery room with an 2 expecting mothers. You tell them to push cause you have seen the baby's head & they are not pushing. Instead you use force on one by slaping and she delivers a healthy. But the other is delivers a still born coz she failed to push. Now for saving her baby, she charges you for assault, what kind of gratitude is this?

wow that is crazy, but in this world we live in now anything is possible, I had always wanted to be a midwife, that would be awsome to help bring new life into the world. I dont understand, the woman whose baby was saved is charging the midwife, that doesnt seem right, one would think she would just be happy to hold her child in her arms and the rest of the world is meaningless while that baby is looking in her eyes.

normaly i would agree that slapping a patient is wrong but if that slap is what it took to help get that baby out for it to live, then well I'm kinda thinking that the slap was worth the childs life. Although I dont understand how a woman that is crowning isnt pushing unless she had absolutely no idea what was going on. even with lack of knowledge natural instincts tell us to push when a baby is there. hummm....
