Never had meds with either delivery, decades ago. Had short, intense labors. 2 healthy sons. Had midwife delivery, in the hospital, almost 40 years ago. Was lucky to deliver at 1 of the rare US hospitals (at least in our area) that used midwives. Wasn't definitely NOT against meds! Would loved offer of "gas & air" for 2nd labor. I never screamed. Spent too much time in prepared childbirth classes, & practicing the breathing, that it kept me busy.
USA has no compression for people . I know I’ve been picked up by EMTs enough over 65 years . They don’t care . When I have no choice but call I get worse thinking how rude and uncaring they are going to be . One day I pray it changes . My last call I could not breath and they made me walk all the way to the ambulance and I was really having a hard time breathing . When we got to the hospital the first thing the doctor ask me was do you want to recessed and can I pray with you ! God bless this doctor always ! I was in the hospital for 8 days and left level 4 air 24-7 ! These EMTs CARE . God bless
Alcohol related calls if they turn out to be a non emergency should be charged for. If the patient is on state benefits a sanction on their benefits should be imposed
If you need an ambulance because you don’t know your drink limit, hits self inflicted and is so selfish. To be honest, the friends around you at the time are crap people as well
