  8. septic pedophile wanted by FBI

    I wouldn't go as far as to say out loud that he should die, but you can't change how you feel. I saw pt who was a sexual offender last week, and it was a weird experience because I felt nothing no...

  15. epidural - who has the right to decide?

    Laboring down, interesting... must explore that, thanks. If it shortens pushing time without hurting the baby or mother, why not? Do you position the mother upright? I saw a nurse prop a mother up...
