[b]Every C-section is the same. [/b]It's a standardized procedure.  Every vaginal birth is different, and there are dozens of maneuvers that exist to deliver the baby.  Even if vaginal births may constitute two-thirds of an ob's workload, he or she may not encounter the same technique more than once or twice a month.  In that same month, he or she would have performed dozens of C-sections that differ little from each other. [/quote]

I'm glad you got the delivery you wanted, and I hope forceps are available to anyone who wants them.  But please tell me you know the bolded is not true.  Because it's not.[/quote]

You are not really making an argument that there is as much variation in C-section technique as there is in vaginal birth.[/quote]

No, I'm making the statement that "Every C-section is the same" is not true.  Because it is a false statement.[/quote]

A distinction without a difference if there ever was one.

In the meantime, I see you have no comment to offer on Gawande's essay. [/quote]

It is a distinction with a big difference.  I have no comment to offer on your very long post.  I'm not the PP you've been arguing with.  I am just trying to figure out if you believe the false statement you made, and it seems you know it is false but think the fact it is false is of no consequence.  That's all I needed to know.[/quote]

DP. Do you understand the concept of taking basic rhetorical positions in writing for the purposes of clarity ? You are being oddly literal, which is really weakening your position.

Obviously compared to the vast variety of vaginal birth techniques, c-sections are “the same.” Now, of course they aren’t actually the same — PP probably didn’t think she had to explain something so basic and obvious — but when you are speaking about techniques across a large population, they are essentially the same.

Maybe this is too complicated for you, but it is obvious to most.[/quote]
