Delivery in the ED with Dr Bec

Expecting the unexpected is the name of the game in emergency work. On this episode I sat down after a fresh case with Dr Bec to chat about how to deliver a baby safely in an Emergency Department. Bec is an amazing human with a passion for women's health. Bec talked us through how clinicians can approach a delivery and gave us a few examples of how to approach delivery safely. Bec talked about her career and why sometimes taking your time can help on the journey to becoming a confident and competent doctor. Themes that were raised were stages of labour, vaginal deliveries, shoulder dystocia, breech deliveries, drugs and when to get help immediately.
