Summary

In their somewhat erratic Halloween tradition, Blyss & Dr. Stu share some scary stories and a lot of dumb doctor dogma. We also introduce our upcoming Webinar, "Bringing The Homebirth Hesitant on Board" debuting in November. 

This episode brings to light the complex connections between nature, healthcare, and risk assessment. We reflect on how our understanding of nature is reflected in our treatment of healthcare, and the importance of considering risks when making decisions. We also navigate through some controversial medical topics and Q&A sessions, exploring the implications of medical interventions and the potential risks associated with them.

Key highlights:

  • Lack of Trust in Health Agencies
  • Controversial Medical Topics and Q&A
  • Baby's Renal Pelvis Concerns
  • Issues With Medical Protocols and Policies
  • Monitoring Jaundice in Home Births
  • Medical Intervention Dangers
  • Finding Confidence in Listening to Intuition
