I actually disagree that he can say whatever he wants! He is a health care professional and some of his statements go against what is known to be fact.

Interestingly a hospital on the Sunshine Coast has the highest rate of waterbirths in the state! Do they have a higher neonatal death rate??? No my friends they don't it is significantly lower than the learned doctors hospital of choice!!!

Yes, if you want a medicalised birth Lorded over by a doctor who sniffs in the face of fact then he is clearly your man!
Of course the baby's heartrate is felt at the cord! What point is he making? Why in preterm births at leading hospitals is it preferred to wait for the cord to stop pulsating? Because it has been shown to be beneficial that's why!

I felt annoyed by this man's comments. Arrogant he is- he was giving his opinion however, his title means to some that he must be right. That concerns me because he simply is not with many of his comments.

I am off to write a letter...
