Even the airport shops are soulless

As an anaesthetist in training, the training and professional support to navigate natural birth philosophies is totally inadequate. Senior anaesthetists, obstetricians and midwives seem reluctant to even talk about it.

I also learned that some hospitals facilitate this practice, and I'm left wondering why the duty of care to the infant is circumvented, in the opposition of evidence and plain common sense.

No problem, Tom. Message if you've got questions again any time. I'll help if I can. I think the prep course I did was www.anaestheticinterview.com

2/2or pop into the dept secretary's office to enquire. They should be able to advise. Current CT1/2s will be able to give good advice. You might find a helpful ACCS Anaesthesia Trainee in the ED

There are a couple of prep courses for anaesthesia applications. They're called anaestheticinterviews or something similar. I would highly recommend doing a prep course.
Ask to speak with one of the anaesthetic consultants in your hospital - maybe send an email to the head of dept 1/2
