The Official TFK Father's Issues Thread. I don't know how they do it

You claimed on here last week to be a qualified and experienced ‘physiology coach’ or something ridiculous like that.
I googled the term and im afraid there are no qualifications in reallife universities to match this ‘profession’ you have and on that basis it is very clear that what you claim to be is completely made up. You are a snakeoil salesman who is scamming stupid and vulnerable people with a title that means absolutely nothing.

Don’t get me wrong, i admire anyone who can make a few bob out of nothing.

the stodgy universities haven’t caught up with the latest advances in movement and well being.

Universities always lag behind progress

Successful psychopaths wouldn’t be generally beating their wives. Poor impulse control in a pscyhopath is most likely characterised by imprisonment.

I’d question @HBV 's inner triangle of ability to love, impulse control and moral reasoning if he is beating his wife.

@caoimhaoin has the lateral thinking he told us himself so maybe he should spend less time doing construction nixers and concentrate on getting some formal recognised qualifications to go with it if he is going to be challenging the medical doctors and the physios.

Births led by midwives lead to greater adverse outcomes for babies

We examined data on all full-term births in which no serious abnormalities were detected in the baby that occurred in New Zealand over a 5-y period (total sample size 244,047).

We compared rates of adverse outcomes for unborn and newly born infants among women who were in midwife-led versus medical-led care at first registration during antenatal care.

Overall rates of adverse outcomes in the New Zealand setting were low and comparable to international rates.

We found that, among mothers with medical-led care compared with midwife-led care, there were lower odds of some adverse outcomes for infants. These included oxygen deprivation during the delivery (birth-related asphyxia) (55% lower odds), neonatal encephalopathy—a condition that can result in brain injury (39% lower odds), and low Apgar score, which is a measure of infant well-being immediately postdelivery, with a low score being indicative of an unwell baby (48% lower odds).

That should be handy for any of us planning to have a baby in New Zealand.

Vindication for those of us arguing in favour of medical led births.

The Internet never forgets.

Lots and lots of holes in that study.

:grinning:

Will we soon be adding peer review to Kev’s list of skills?

Its a study by hospital professionals wanting to promote hospitals essentially.

Plenty science is utter bullshit. After a quick look this one has the “coloured to suit ourselves” look all over it. Notwithstanding the fact that its way of calculating post birth issues was simply on a discussion basis.

How were they calculating all the parameters at the home births?

Guessing?

A self inflicted one.

Possibly downgraded to flesh wound.

:joy::joy::joy:All from the Public health dept. The same place. Its like the CUH asking UCC to do a study for them. The fuckers go for pints together every friday where the academics slag the docs for taking the gard life and the docs slag the academics for being lazy gits.

Who pays the wages. Follow the money. Always follow the money.

Its a very wishy washy study that the authors had no real direct involvement in. Just picked thru a selective bunch of records

A great example if you want to believe something hard enough there will be some study to support it. The fact it took this long to poke it out says it all.
