I don’t need a machine to tell me when she is having a contraction. When they invent a machine that can hold a woman’s hand, give her a reassuring hug, tell her in plain English what is happening, put a cool washer on her forehead, then I would consider, and only consider letting a machine do part of my job for me.
Well said Alan, thats just beautiful!

And I think it is very care. Yes it might make the level of "care" easier for the midwives but what about the patients...

*sigh*

Very sad indeed!
