The c-section rate in Norway is between 15-17% so while I’m sure their surgeons train, they have significantly *more* training on vaginal birth. They also have an absolutely minuscule maternal mortality rate compared to the U.S, especially compared to the U.S maternal mortality rate among WOC. I don’t think “dead mother” is an imperfect outcome of which we should be tolerant.[/quote]

I don't really understand your point.  You said we shouldn't teach doctors non-Cesarean tricks and maneuvers because that requires much experience, and they'll just go and train on poor WOC and that's why we shouldn't do it.   Did you mean that only for America?  So, like, it's OK for foreign obs to learn and practice these skills because they learn and practice in a more ethical manner?

Or, do you believe that 85% of all births in Norway are perfectly uncomplicated vaginal deliveries where all doctors do is drink tea?  Or could it be they were taught some midwifery skills and maneuvers to support vaginal birth before grabbing a scalpel?

And that really doesn't answer the question of how they train without a pool of WOC to experiment, as you say, on.  Do you think they emerge from womb perfectly skilled in everything? How *do* they train?[/quote]
