My third daughter was delivered by the anesthesiologist, because the ObGyn was stuck in traffic and the anesthesiologist was the only doctor on the floor. Doctors don't need that stuff outside their specialty... until the day they do.

If you pulled someone off the street, odds are that that person would also be able to successfully deliver your daughter.

How much did the anesthesiologist help, above that baseline?

He made an incision that was needed for a successful delivery. I don't want a random person off the street doing that, no.

Funny how humans were somehow able to reproduce just fine for millions of years before surgical deliveries.

Oddly enough, the US has the same pregnancy mortality rate as places like Latvia, Moldova, Romania, and the Ukraine. Tied for 56th out of 186 (there are lots of ties)
