There is no doubt that sixteenth-century surgeon Gaspare Tagliacozzi would be astonished by the medical innovations that have made facial transplantation possible, and rightfully proud of his early contributions. I doubt, however, that he would be interested in the recent debate about whether the benefit of these experimental surgeries for severe deformities outweighs the psychological impact of an altered face and the increased morbidity and mor…

The Politics of Childbirth
Interviews with 27 licensed lay midwives in Arizona demonstrate the continuing macro- and micro-political struggles over definitions and control of childbirth.

The midwives' cumulative …

Five per cent of the newborns required medical care after delivery; half of these were hospitalized.…
Satisfaction With Maternity Care
The purpose of this study was to determine the level of satisfaction with maternity care and whether satisfaction was related to the patterns of communication between caretakers and patient and to specific clinical procedures used during labor and delivery. Data, gathered in a statewide survey, indicated widespread satisfaction with prenatal labor and delivery care. Level of satisfaction was related to both the quality of communication and the fu…
