[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a baby is hard work.  Whoever told you it was a vacation?  Years ago women stayed in hospital two weeks after giving birth but that was before greedy insurance companies took over the medical profession.  Sadly, the populace lemmings followed these avaricious companies over the cliff.

We have so many reasons to have a 2nd revolution in the U.S.[/quote]

I was born in 1969. My Mom was in the hospital for a week after a normal, vaginal birth. She says she was treated like a Queen. I stayed in the nursery with the other babies most of the time, while my Mom rested. Nurses gave her daily back massages and sponge baths, and lessons on baby care. This was in Virginia. How far we have fallen as a society. It’s sad.[/quote]

How idiotic that this was ever a thing. Nurses are medical professionals, not masseuses.or spa employees.[/quote]

Nurses are not doctors. They are care givers in hospitals that do the caregiving.  Family does caregiving at home, nurses do caregiving in hospitals. These include giving medicines, monitaring vital signs, change the dressings, back massages, bathing and changing the patients, helping them do exercises, helping them eat and drink. , helping them keep clean and comfortable, helping them to sleep uninterrupted, helping with care of newborn.
