The review showed that episiotomies are linked to higher risk of injury, more difficult healing and more pain. The procedure does nothing to prevent...
...diversity of life experience among the “Sweet Birds” cast members has been a unique asset in the production, not only because the actors could portray roles closer to their true age. Indeed, Andreadis points out that the co-inclusion of, and interaction between, youthful undergraduate and more mature graduate students in the production further introduced a unique layer of truth into the production, due to the May-December relationship between Chance and Alexandra. “Because of the diversity of the group, the relationships have developed in such a way that the true...
