I appreciate your point but whos gonna argue with a labouring woman about whether she really really needs the epidural and in your opinion she doesnt and if she has it she will have ot pay for it.

Can u see where Im coming from?

Please dont take offence, after all, I havent even startded my training yet but i quite like debating and think it will do we well in the long run to see both sides of an arguement before im faced with the situation.
