You are quite right Raj - teach me not to use the search facility!!
Click here for the link
Nothing there about prolonged labour so I ws 100% wrong!
James says it is associated - can you discuss this more and quote that text please shama?
Be a good idea to revisit the Turnbull book as well. _________________ "Teale Fenning Medical Education" delivering evidence-based, exam-orientated learning since 1997 |
