Is this strange? The answer is no.

You know, whether in the private sector or in hospitals, you can see some women giving birth on their own without the need for assistance.

Today's scene seems to explain well why some elderly people are so proud of bragging about having children themselves.

Even so, the family members standing at the door were still stunned.

Patient’s husband: Mom, have you seen it?

Patient’s mother-in-law: No, I haven’t seen it. Your mother has never seen anything like this in all her years.

It is true that one can give birth to a child by oneself, but in this case, first one says it is a difficult labor, and then suddenly one can give birth by oneself. What is this?

It can be imagined that this is definitely not that the woman who was having a difficult labor suddenly turned around and was able to give birth on her own, but that someone assisted in the delivery and enabled the woman to give birth on her own.

The person who performed this magic trick was the doctor, not the woman in labor herself.

What is midwifery? Modern medicine, which is becoming more and more advanced, seems to be returning to basics, pursuing the study of the most primitive delivery mode of human mothers.

Medical statistics don't lie. Most women can give birth naturally if they have the conditions to do so. This is why obstetrics around the world have always emphasized that women who have the conditions must try for natural births.

Here we need to correct a misunderstanding. Natural birth does not mean that midwifery is not needed. Modern medicine emphasizes that even if a woman gives birth at home, she needs the help of a midwife, because the woman needs assistance during the delivery process to avoid problems such as postpartum infection and the newborn not receiving timely treatment and rescue.

These subsequent problems can also cost the lives of both the mother and the child and should not be taken lightly. It is not advisable for some elderly people to brag about giving birth to children.

From the above, we can see that Dr. Xie Wanying is not performing magic, but is performing the most basic technique as usual: midwifery.

How to assist in childbirth? As Dr. Duan Sanbao said, if a woman has a difficult labor, the cause must be carefully identified. It is not necessarily necessary to use a scalpel to perform a laparotomy, and it is not necessarily necessary to pull the body forcefully.

The highest realm of medicine, whether it is surgery, internal medicine, pharmacy, nursing, etc., is increasingly pursuing the realm of returning to nature, that is, pursuing the human body's own operating mechanism to provide harmless assistance, rather than forcing external interference and then affecting the normal order of the body's self-operation.

Many friends who like traditional Chinese medicine heard this and said: Ah, this is exactly the medical concept advocated by traditional Chinese medicine.

But to be precise, Western medicine has historically been increasingly emphasizing such concepts. It cannot be said that only traditional Chinese medicine has this view while Western medicine does not.

Medicine is a big family, but all of them lead to the same destination.

Come to think of it, not only the patient's family, but also a group of colleagues at the scene all felt that Dr. Xie Wanying seemed to be changing her ways because today's job of assisting patients in giving birth naturally is not something that everyone can do.

Doctor Shen Xifei curled her lips and said, "You can't blame me. I have no idea about this kind of work and I can't do it. I think only Xie Juanwang can do it."

It is incorrect to say that only Dr. Xie Wanying can do it. Dr. Xie believes that top obstetricians such as Teacher Du can do it and do better than her.

After all, Dr. Shen Xifei had only studied obstetrics and not worked in the department. Moreover, she was young and had little clinical experience, so it was difficult for her to grasp the essence of midwifery mentioned above.

For example, how to judge the patient's uterine contractions and birth canal conditions today requires the doctor to assist in the delivery just right, which places very high demands on the professional database of the doctor's clinical diagnosis.

She thanked Doctor Xie for taking advantage of her rebirth to refresh the database, so it was normal that Doctor Shen could not do it.

To sum up: midwifery is certainly not a cesarean section, and although it may seem that surgical operations are not as difficult as cesarean sections, the technical requirements are equally very high. It is not as simple as outsiders think, as it is done by midwives rather than doctors.

There is no rule that midwifery is the only job of midwives. In clinical practice, midwives have to work under the guidance of doctors, and doctors can take over directly when necessary.

After the baby was born, the doctors continued to be busy with their daily affairs.

As Dr. Cao Zhao had judged early on, the difficult task would soon fall into the hands of the pediatrician. As mentioned above, the fact is that this child cannot be considered a completely normal birth.

Dr. Song Xuelin helped Dr. Xie pick up a pair of scissors and cut the umbilical cord cleanly and neatly. There was no sound of the baby crying.
