    3rd degree stitches is just a bigger cut and the midwife can't do it. It means having to go into theatre with a surgeon for half an hour to stitch it back up. The mother then has to stay in hospital until the stitches heel and can only be released once mum has gone for a poo. Need to make sure stiches don't undo when she goes to the toilet. It also means no sex for 12 weeks.
    WELL YOU ASKED.

      I know. I could tell you about my kidney stone operation and what they did with the stent (pipe). That's more 'Oh my god you are not putting that up there. Anywhere but up there. Are you sure that goes up there. Nothing goes up there. It can't go up there. BOH HO HO.'

          I thought kidney stones were zapped with ultrasound now-a-days

            I didn't know that until after the operation. The did ultrasound at sutton hospital but not at Mayday. This was 2000 Boxing day at 2am.
            It also depends how big it is. Mine was as big as a thumb nail.
            All my life I had been drinking coke and fanta so no surprise. Now it's water or diluted water. Don't want to go through that again.
            2 months with a pipe up your wand makes you change your lifestyle.

              Did they induce a stiffy to get the pipe in?

                  Hold on - surely all contractors agree that private health care is best - how would a socialist health care system be at all efficient or competent ?

                  And anyway, why should my taxes help the chavs to spawn ? If we didn't subsidise the poor to reproduce we would have fewer poor people.

                    private health care is best for seeing a consultant - gets you faster up the queue. And its good for a private operation in NHS hospital.

                    Remember in private they never touch anything major. And if minor surgery remember that there could well be no backup. Plenty of people have fallen ill with only nurses to look at them. By the time Doctor arrives its all gone horribly wrong.

                      Not at all, I have a very well to do friend who pays for whatever the top BUPA service is, since being diagnosed with cancer he has had all his treatment in NHS hospitals because they are the one's with the equipment and expertise, its often the same doctors who treat you anyway so what’s the point in paying extra just for a nice bed? BUPA is probably great if you need a hip replacement or a knee operation but when it come to something serious you'd get the same level of care either way.

                      As for your comment about poor people, who would collect your rubbish or serve your latte if they were not allowed to reproduce? Everyone has a place in society and that's what keeps you smug, we'd all be poorer without them!
                      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
