OB's, Pavlov, daily bread and psychical constitution

OB's, PAVLOV, DAILY BREAD AND PSYCHICAL CONSTITUTION


From IVAN PAVLOV'S Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1904
Presentation Speech...

FIRST PARAGRAPH ("daily bread"):

"It is not accidental that all phenomena of human life are dominated by the
search for daily bread - the oldest link connecting all living things, man
included, with the surrounding nature..."

LAST PARAGRAPH ("psychical constitution"):

"Essentially only one thing in life interests us: our psychical
constitution..."

GASTALDO REMARKS...

Ensuring the best possible psychical and physical constitutions for babies
interests me greatly.

Unfortunately, this does not interest obstetricians much because their daily
bread is on the line (see the very end of this post).

Here it is 2005 and the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecology/ACOG is STILL promoting semisitting and dorsal delivery which
close the birth canal up to 30%.

ACOG is also still promoting KEEPING birth canals closed the "extra" up to
30% when babies get stuck...

ACOG is also promoting other obvious crimes.

See ACOG's 2005 edition: How NOT to birth

Stopping the crimes would be tantamount to admitting the crimes - which
could eat into obstetric daily bread - so they keep committing the crimes.

Understandable - but unconscionable.

Thanks for reading.

Sincerely,

Todd
