If only one could trust the public not to sue when they need an anaesthetic,
aspirate and end up in a vegetative state - then one might go for normality!
In spite of sneering comments about medicalisation [and I join in too] it
has to be admitted that infant mortality has plummeted - so the medical
fraternity must be getting something right.
I think there is some problem about believing such tiny amounts make much
difference [250 ml is about 2/3 of a can of soft drink!]
