Midwife struck off for yanking a woman down a bed... by the umbilical cord!!

[beansprout]

ouch!

You poor thing, you could have died

This sort of thing just makes me rage.

OMG - thank god I have lovely midwives (so far)

how awful - at least she can't do this again.

I am so glad i have move from Hemel Hempstead, otherwise i may have ended up there when i have this baby at the end of August.

I would also say that my SIL had her second there nearly 5yrs ago and i have to i was disgusted how dirty the whole ward was.

I was pulled off the bed by a Doctor who was about the size of a borrower with a pair of forceps.

She seemed to know better than me when I was contracting

It's a real problem - not enough midwives so they take on agency staff and you don't get a lot of choice. But blimey, I'd not only have struck her off, but struck her period!
