Natural, yes, but I've never seen anything close to the amount of
suffering I've seen on the labour ward in any other area of medicine.
I suppose having your bones shattered in a car accident might hurt as
much, but you don't see injured people in emergency departments
saying, "No morphine! I want to do it naturally!"
