A women had given birth in a hospital in Shenzhen, China. The midwives there get a set rate for their job but when they carry out a delivery the parents are expected to give a tip. However, the father in this case didn't have much cash on him and apparently didn't tip high enough so as punishment the midwife stitched up the woman's anus while claiming to be just tidying everything up down there!
The woman was unsure why she was in so much agony after leaving the hospital, and a trip to the doctors the next day found the cause!!!
The midwife is now under investigation.

I couldn't believe it when I read the story! Just horrific, the poor woman! ]]> Midwifery News MimiJY http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38915-shocking-story-about-midwife.html http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38875-mw-ban-after-saying-god.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:30:27 GMT http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/7984243/Midwife-banned-after-telling-grieving-mother-God-knows-best.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/7984...nows-best.html ]]> Midwifery News WooWooSauce http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38875-mw-ban-after-saying-god.html http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38822-many-fathers-get-depressed-after.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 07:37:10 GMT http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/sep/06/men-suffer-postnatal-depression-research http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/20...ssion-research ]]> Midwifery News Sugar Puff http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38822-many-fathers-get-depressed-after.html http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38637-why-risk-infertility-birth-defects.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:38:57 GMT http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/revealed-why-risk-of-infertility-and-birth-defects-rises-with-age-2069229.html http://www.independent.co.uk/life-st...e-2069229.html ]]> Midwifery News sexxymummy http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38637-why-risk-infertility-birth-defects.html http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38462-rcm-aid-pakistan-should-not.html Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:51:18 GMT http://www.rcm.org.uk/college/media-centre/press-releases/aid-to-pakistan-should-not-include-formula-milk-26-08-10/ http://www.rcm.org.uk/college/media-...milk-26-08-10/ ]]> Midwifery News sexxymummy http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38462-rcm-aid-pakistan-should-not.html http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38389-mother-baby-fight-life-after.html Sun, 29 Aug 2010 12:32:17 GMT http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1307158/Mother-baby-fighting-life-doctors-delivery-room-brawl.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...oom-brawl.html ]]> Midwifery News sexxymummy http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38389-mother-baby-fight-life-after.html http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38388-midwives-who-real-klass-act.html Sun, 29 Aug 2010 12:02:32 GMT http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1307097/Myleene-Klass-pays-tributes-17-hour-shist-nurses.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...st-nurses.html ]]> Midwifery News sexxymummy http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38388-midwives-who-real-klass-act.html http://www.studentmidwife.net/smnet-community-15/midwifery-news-22/38409-test-could-predict-mothers-will.html Sun, 29 Aug 2010 11:09:42 GMT Hi all, I just wondered if anyone else had seen this, and if so what you thought about it? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-11111506 xxx...
