Watch Dr. Nicholas Fogelson's talk on evidence based support for delayed cord clamping from Grand Rounds at the University of South Carolina this month. Its a good resource should any institution or professional challenge the idea and argue that clamping of the cord immediately is "just what we do". Thank you Dr. Fogelson.
I love when science finally catches up to common sense. The burden of proof should be on those that support the intervention and not on proponents of what evolution has provided. Dr. F

Welcome to DR. STU'S BLOG. Along with my podcast at www.drstuspodcast.com it is here that I post my thoughts on a variety of topics on the birthing world. Advocacy for true informed consent and respect for individual autonomy are the basis for the musings you will read here. I hope you enjoy while you learn and I encourage you to comment. Please check out www.birthinginstincts.com for information on home birthing with an obstetrician and my latest news and updates.
What's crazy is that most of the data I presented is not modern at all - it was published in the 1950s and 60s. The sad thing is that papers this old are not available online, and thus are nonexistent in the eyes of modern physicians. If it isn't available in downloadable PDF, it was never published!
ReplyDeleteI know. Sad, isn't it. We have to go to college and medical school so we can learn how not to believe in common sense. If there is no study then it can't be true. You know, I never saw a study that said it was safer to cross the street when the light is green then when it is red. How did I know what to do? Again, thank you.
