  • Why in the world would they do something like that? Here i am doing research for my english project, and now i want to throw up.

  • Sorry. Just puke it all out. You'll feel better afterwards and then you can go on with your English project.

  • By the shape of the head, it looks as though the baby had dropped into the birth canal already. I'm I right to assume that?

  • Exactly! The medical term for this is "caput succedaneum". The head already takes on the shape of the birth canal.

  • I think they are just intern!

  • No, they are not even intern! Just some guy doing a C-section, they never went to medical schools, because they don't have any.

    This is Africa, my friend!

  • Clearly u ppl don't know surgery. The umbilical cord has to b clamped until umbilical tape replaces it and ties it off otherwise the baby's main blood supply will come rolling out!! Duh! And those a typical clamps! Not scissors! Haha. Ridiculous. Typical Americans that dont know what scissors looklike!

  • You people are idiots. That baby cried. He was in the blanket with clamps on the umbilical cord, not scissors. Medical care is not really something that has really been a part of childbirth until fairly recently. Native Americans used to squat, give birth and go back to work. Though I am a very proud American and veteran, it saddens me that so many of us have no concept of what life is like outside of our own borders. I, for one, reserve visiting the doctor to when I and my children are truly s

  • Nos politiks preferent venir enterrer les sous ici,ke de s´en servir pr ameliorer,ou perfectionner des secteurs comme celui de la santé,l education etc...Avec 1 intervention medicale coe celle-ci,le risque zero est á exclure!Dieu seul sait combien ont laissé leur vie et celle des enfants apres pareille operation.Dieu,Garde nous!

  • c est vraiment dommage!quand je vois ce ki ce fait ici et cette video,ca ne pourrait me surprendre des consequences de la cesarienne en Afrik.Mais je ne leurs plains pas,car il ya aussi le manque de materiels.J ai assisté personnellement á la cesarienne de ma femme ici(Berlin)il ya qques mois,je vous jure tt se passe sans k on ne le remarque.Si nos politiques pouvaient acheter des materiels de haute technologie pr nos hopitaux,ca pouvait bien ns aider

  • The baby wasn't wrapped up with scissors, those are CLAMPS! Also, they cut the mother in an approved way. There are 2 ways to cut someone for a c-section. 1 being the traditional "bikini" cut and the other is the way showed in the video. I saw nothing cruel about this video. I will be having my 4th c-section in a few weeks. Not much is different about this c-section and those performed everyday in America. People need to stop over reacting!

  • THOSE ASSHOLES NEED TO BE SHOT AND KILLED !!!!

  • Holy shit would hate to have a child there.

    Treated like a piece of meat..!!!

    Where's the humanity ? That was a new born baby Not a slab of beef.....

  • @TheJonny165 U R DUMB TO MAKE SUCH A GENERALISED STATEMENT

  • @ulysse2121 what the hect do you mean this Africa?

    y generalise your opinions? in cameroon an intern will never be allowed to perform an important operation like dis, so please inform yourselves before posting, we have trained doctors,
