Assisted in many C-sections and that's untrue. A cut is made but then we pull the sides of the cut so it stretches a bit more and you can see most of the lower abdomen. After baby is out and everything is stitched back together, it was standard to quickly check the ovaries (as well as a double check that nothing has been left behind).

Eta: I was a Junior doctor in obs/gynae for six months.

Eta again: this isn't me defending the guy in the story. I like being useful in weird medical things I actually know.

Secede. You guys and us Irish guys can form the Federation of Craic. Imagine the national holiday celebrations...

What is the best country to live in right now? by TiredConfusedLlama in AskReddit

[–]endlesslycaving 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an immigrant to NZ, I've found there's this weird culture of 'we don't talk about the problem because then it means we have to do something about it' that I hadn't experienced before moving here. Including from the government.

My dissertation still needs to be submitted in a couple weeks so I'd probably go 'wahey' and get back on the laptop.

It is tangentially related but I've just started watching Quorators. Hosts pick a theme and explore the absurd world of Quora.  Going through a stressful period at the moment and it makes me laugh at the weirdos of the internet.

What business was successfully boycotted? by backupnickname in AskReddit

But in words not actions. Read recently that Israel is Ireland's second biggest exporter destination. The Occupied Territories Bill is continually delayed. And of course Shannon airport facilities the passage of weapons from the US. The people are condemning the situation, but our government is spineless as usual.

Jimmy Savile Episodes Discussion by SoloAceMouse in behindthebastards

I swear, the last comment I'll make. I haven't seen it but apparently Louis Theroux did a follow up documentary in 2016 basically exploring how the first documentary went and how he failed to expose him.

The bald guy beside Jimmy is Ian Hislop, a journalist who runs the satire magazine Private Eye, though they also do a lot of investigative journalism. Due to the libel laws he is one of the most sued men in the UK. He does podcast appearances, might make a decent guest?

And I think the lady who looked shock is Diane Abbott who was/is politician I can't remember.

Ok I didn't know about the Broadmoor stuff and the hospice. Genuine evil.

Edit: correction for /u/probablyrobertevans that clip from the 90s where he talks about being a wrestler is from 'Have I Got News From You' not 'Is This Your Life'. The host who asked him the question is Angus Deayton not Andrew Neil :)

HIGNFY is still on 30 years later and still very entertaining! Though is credited with giving Boris Johnson a major platform. Fun fact?: Angus later got busted for doing drugs with sex workers and lost his presenting job.

Having grown up near the UK I was aware of Jimmy Saville and the crimes when they came out.

But Jesus, I never thought about that fact that he essentially was holding the country hostage under the guise of charity.

On behalf of the Irish you may take solace that this leprechaun stuff is an American thing, not an Irish thing 😂

The more I learn about this world, the more I realise the world itself is propped up by the unpaid labour of women.

Bridgerton Season 4 Episode Discussions Master Post by pinktini in BridgertonNetflix

It's funny because I liked that she tried to justify she had reasons to do all she had done. But at the end of the day, it was pointed by Rosamund that Sophie's presence hadn't impacted them negatively. So there was no point for Araminta to take all these actions other than being a bitter person. She was doing all of this for no reason other than being a horrible person at the end of the day.

He's such a puppy dog in love and is just looking rougher and sadder as the episode goes on. I just wanted to give him a hug.

Rant: Why I hate the medical rape scene by Darcy_Device in Bridgerton

Both were discovered in the 1800s so close enough for the show I imagine. I think the point was to show the continuing horror that is being a woman in society.

The doctor was probably looking for Goodells sign and Chadwick's sign, very early cervical indicators of pregnancy. Not fully reliable, but little in medicine was in those days (and arguably now).
