Clinic day #31 & #32

There were a bunch of births last week for me, so most of my clinic was rescheduled to Monday this week, and then of course my regular clinic for Tuesday.

I checked into some prices for my clients who don't have health care coverage and found out that a hospital stay overnight (which includes a labour room for 24 hours) is $1700. If they want an epidural, they have to bring cash to pay the anaesthetist and it is about $500. Expensive, but not as expensive as some places in the States: I heard that a normal vaginal delivery and associated costs can run $10,000!! [I don't know if this is actually true]

Other than that, nothing really interesting to report...
