I'm sorry to disappoint, but in the 8 years I've lived in this 100,000
Central CA community they have never used Epidurals, spinals are almost
always reserved for C-Secs and the standard fare is Stadol/demerol/nubane
(depending on which doc is around). ITNs are now being offered (dare I say
pushed?) to mothers who have insurance....Medical patients have no such luck.
Before we moved here, the hospital I worked at in CO was even worse....
