REDUCE HEALTHCARE-RELATED ERRORS...

"The purpose of the [Florida Commission on Excellence in Health Care]...is
to facilitate development of a comprehensive statewide strategy for
improving health care delivery systems and reduce health care-related
errors..."
http://www.doh.state.fl.us/Mqa/FCHCE/CommissionLeg2001.htm

Attention Commission members (listed below):

One of your fellow Commission members - GREG HOLLSTROM, DC - is ignoring the
fact that OBs are routinely closing birth canals up to 30% and routinely
KEEPING birth canals closed when babies get stuck.

I sent Greg news of this massive healthcare-related error...

See Chiro wellness: Pregnant? Stop subluxations before they start!

Greg wrote back: PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM YOUR MAILING LIST IMMEDIATELY.

Greg, you are off my list.

Commission members, at the very least, please inform pregnant women in your
circle of friends and family that OBs are routinely closing birth canals up
to 30% and that it is easy for them to allow their birth canals to OPEN the
"extra" up to 30%.

All women have to do to offer their babies the "extra" up to 30% is roll
onto their sides as they push their babies out - but they should beware -
some OBs let women "try" alternative delivery positions - then move them
back to semisitting/dorsal (close the birth canal the "extra" up to 30%) for
the actual delivery.

Also noteworthy: OBs are KEEPING birth canals closed the "extra" up to 30%
when babies get stuck - then pulling with hands, forceps or vacuums -
sometimes so hard they actually rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords.

Some babies die - some get paralyzed - most "only" have they spines
gruesomely wrenched.

ALL spinal manipulation is gruesome with the birth canal closed the "extra"
up to 30%.

This is INSTANTLY PREVENTABLE medical error.

See again the post Greg ignored: Chiro wellness: Pregnant? Stop
subluxations before they start!
