I can't read Dr Crippen's blog any more because he posts such utter vitriol and nonsense about other HCPs but won't actually engage in a debate based on evidence or reason. He himself thinks that all midwives basically are unfit to do anything except wipe people's arses and that birth is only safe in a hospital with a doctor present and has slagged off midwives enough times; seems he's just moved on to ambulance personnel...
