 and/or nurses responsible for the delivery of the baby fail to recognize signs of shoulder dystocia or fail to respond in an appropriate manner they may constitute medical negligence. When the healthcare providers are found to be negligent they can be held responsible for any injuries caused to the baby as a result of their unreasonable conduct.
Medical malpractice claims are quite complex. It is to contact an experienced personal injury attorney to conduct a careful review of the medical records and determine whether the baby's injuries were caused by the negligence of the medical providers.
There are numerous unique deadlines and other requirements that must be considered. So it important to make these determinations as soon as possible if you suspect medical negligence. Delay can result in a missed deadline which may bar your claim completely.

If they would like to teach creationism in our schools, is it unfair to teach the theory of evolution and spread our pastafarian beliefs in their churches?
WOW…….this is the coolist thing ever……I TOO BOW DOWN TO THE GREATNESS OF HIS AWESOME NOODLIENESS….i will tell all who will listen…..
Let me break this slowly to you. You may need to be comfortably seated for this revelation.
1) There is no Allah. There is no God. There is no deity of any kind outside of your head. The Tooth Fairy is no more or less real than any deity.
2) There is no Hell, Any after-life is a figment of your imagination that calms your fear of death.
3) You can generate precisely zero proof that the above statements are false. Mis-quoting from old books that you can’t read and don’t understand proves only how successful the liars in the pulpit have been at brain washing you.
The FSM has just revealed himself to me and confirmed in this private revelation that those guilty of blasphemy in their comments to this letter will be drowned in pasta sauce and stangled by boiling spaghetti.
…I note in this regard that this private revelation also revealed that I am to be the FSM supreme prophet, any criticism of my words will equally be blasphemy and will be punished accordingly.
Well what’s he waiting for, an invitation? We are still here and still posting. Why doesn’t he strike us down? Lazy god you have there.
Blah, blah, blah, blah….  In this article Rachel Morgan, owner of Brighton and Hove Herbalist, and Member of The Midlife Hub, shares with us her take on stress and the menopause.
The following is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice and diagnosis and does not constitute medical advice. Herbs should be used in a safe and nourishing way and not as a replacement for visiting your doctor. Always tell your doctor about any herbs or supplements you are taking.
We all suffer from stress from time to time. It is a normal part of life, and not necessarily a bad thing. However, too much stress over a long period of time can be detrimental to overall health and well-being and may contribute to some of the discomforts experienced at menopause. It is not uncommon for people going through menopause to experience mood changes, irritability, feeling anxious about things that may not have troubled them previously and losing confidence, in addition to experiencing physical issues such as hot flushes, night sweats and having trouble sleeping. Stress may be a contributing factor to these symptoms.
The adrenal glands are involved in the body’s response to stress and anxiety as they produce the hormones that enable us to respond to stress. It is important to take care of the adrenal glands going into menopause, as they are also involved in the production of oestrogen after menopause.
This is a great herb to use if stress affects your digestion as Chamomile has an affinity for both the nervous system and the digestive system. It has a lovely calming effect but is not too sedative, so you can drink it throughout the day without getting drowsy. Using infused oil of chamomile for a massage or in the bath can be very relaxing. You can also use the flowers in a bath by tying them in a cloth bag or making some tea and adding it to the bath (I use a large saucepan with a couple of tablespoons of chamomile, leave it to steep with the lid on for 10 minutes and then add to the bath).
Chamomile is a member of the Compositae family – so if you are allergic to ragweed, you should avoid this herb.
This is another herb that can gently calm the nervous system without causing drowsiness. It has been used by herbalists for hundreds of years. Culpeper reported that “it causeth the mind and heart to become merry…” and Arabian physicians reported its benefit for anxiety and depression. The herb is traditionally used to calm anxiety, as it has an affinity for the nervous system and the heart. Two of the common names for this herb are ‘Scholar’s Herb’ and ‘Heart’s Delight’ and there have been some small trials that indicate that Lemon Balm may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and insomnia and improve cognitive performance. It is a member of the mint family and is really easy to grow. The fresh leaves have a distinct lemony flavour and make a nicer tea than the dried leaves. Try adding fresh leaves to fruit smoothies or fruit pies.
This herb has been used for hundreds of years to help reduce anxiety. It is one I think of for clients who suffer from circulating thoughts, particularly if those thoughts are keeping them awake in the middle of the night. There has been some scientific research investigating the anxiolytic properties of passionflower. Small trials have indicated that passionflower extract may be helpful in managing generalized anxiety disorder and that passion flower tea may help improve sleep quality. Obviously it is best not to drink too much just before bedtime as you want to avoid having to make a trip to the toilet in the middle of the night.
Lavender is a good herb to try if your mind is so busy that it causes trouble sleeping. It is antispasmodic, so may also help relieve any tension, particularly tension causing headaches and tension in the neck and shoulders. A review of a number of trials on the effect of Lavender on anxiety suggests that ingesting lavender preparations may have a beneficial effect. If you like the taste of lavender, try mixing lavender and chamomile to make a nice relaxing tea or a night time milky drink. The essential oil is traditionally used in aromatherapy massage to help relieve tension and anxiety and a couple of drops of the oil on a pillow at night may help some people sleep. Some preparations of Epsom salts are also infused with lavender and adding them to a nice warm bath can be very relaxing.
In the early 20th century, an American herbalist suggested that Valerian is useful for “nervous disturbances incident to menopause”. Traditionally it is used to help relax the nerves and relieve tension and insomnia. A word of warning about Valerian: it is not suited to everyone and in some people it can actually cause restlessness and wakefulness. It is best suited to people with a colder constitution (pale complexion, cold hands and feet). If you have a tendency to heat, you might find that Valerian is not very effective for you.
