Inside the human body...


Inside the human body ( BBC1 21.00) was great viewing. The contrast of the woman in Rwanda who went into labour compared to mothers here ( UK) and in America was a stark reminder of how fortunate we are. This lady had a 2 hr walk to the clinic - with no idea how close she was to giving birth. She was in agony with no pain relief other than her own body. She was then able to get a ride... on a motorbike!.

In the end she delivered a healthy baby boy!.

The human body is remarkable
That woman was remarkable

  1. The childbirth thing is crazy. As a man, I feel as if it's far better to give than to receive.
