No mention of babies. Curious.

Out of 2000 births, it seems highly unlikely that no babies would have died. Run a search on U.S. infant mortality. Now, was the mortality rate with this midwife unusually high? That is extremely doubtful, since what got her into this mess was the fact that she accompianied the patient to the hospital when a problem arose. Since she never lost a mother, she is apparently skilled at determining when a trip to the hospital is needed.
