So not appropriate, especially for students!! There is no way my professors would have okay'd us doing that. It's one thing if they wanted to make a video for class but not to be put on the hospitals website. Now a great video done by students was from UNLV about HIPAA and that has been used by BON. There's a time and place for everything and this was just not appropriate.
As a fun production, it's good. Well choreographed and relevant to their audience, which I presume to be other Ob/Gyn residents.
Now, as an example of the terrible birth culture that we live in, I find it awful. Those birthing images in the lithotomy position, fire emanating from the birth canal as baby is shot out?? But then again, we are talking about surgeons here who in reality have no business catching babies the good old natural way as they have no respect for the human process. Ok, that is another thread ;-)

As an OB Scrub Tech I think the video portrays everything we do and that happens just on out floor. Only some of us get to experience "amniotic showers" and some babies do get literally catched when they come in at 9cm. The only part I didn't like was the baby having the chest compressions, that kind of brings the fun of the video down because it is one of the not so good sides of L&D.

So this is so funny...this was made at a hospital in Canada and it's been all over the news because some people are too sensitive and found it incorrect. I thought it was hilarious!
