Orgasmio
A birth parody where the father is in the birthing
mother's position by Lynn Baptisti Richards, and
Dr. Harlan Sparer, D.C., reprinted with the kind
permission of Midwifery Today magazine.
By LLM:
- A Named
Violation and Ecstasy A renaming of processes
and procedures in birth, to take away the bland
enabling that comes along with the use of soft-sounding
names. So the story begins- "Enter Sarah,
a first time mother whose sanctity is crucial,
into the Birthing in Captivity Institution."
She goes on to get three c-sections, but this
ends in Sarah's discovery of freebirth- the
"inviolable releasing of sweet life".
- Obstetrician
Poetry (Eeeeeeooouuuuuu!!!!!) A doctor writes
his little poetic heart out about what he sees
during pelvic exams. Well- how would he feel
if someone were to write a poem about his testicles?

- In
the Year???? Treatment exists for health
care professionals who suffer from medical malaise
such IPD (Ignorant Pig Disease), and who require
"Hamniocentesis"- and a bit of time
in the "Virtual Contraction Chamber"
to learn a bit of empathy for birthing mothers.

in Cheek! A parody about doctors and "patients"
