Becky,

Maybe the lack of medical intervention in these societies has something to do
with it.  I'm not saying that there is no place for technology for OB/PEDS
but if it ain't broke don't fix it.  We, as an industrialized nation, jump in
too quickly and procede too aggressively sometimes.  Just some thoughts.
