Hello Elaine, I reckon the good doctor is being humorous/mocking of
"managed" labour too. His phrase
" If your statement were true, managed labour would be disruption of
physiology, in other words, pathogenic, and that kind of thinking is
antisocial and common sense".
is true in every sense of every word.
Given that the good doctor writes about the inherently pathological
disruption of essential physiology in newborn blood volumes/brain
perfusion etc when physiology is NOT allowed to take its course in third
stage.....
warmly, Carolyn Hastie
