Traveling through time to normal birth.

摘要

My life as a professional time-traveler started as an 18-year-old student nurse in a segregated hospital in the Deep South of the United States. Because of a system of medical apartheid, I got to closely observe and participate in two entirely different systems, side by side in the same hospital, at the same time, same staff, same type of patients, but totally different management style and outcomes. This contrasting study of birth practices all depended on whether the mother was black or white.
