Sadly, Dara -- maybe for comedic effect, or maybe out of obeisance to medical science, or maybe out of outdated knowledge -- distorts the actual circumstantial FACTS about cuts or tears. If a vagina seems too small for a baby's head, and has prolonged labour beyond what an obstetrician considers a "safe time" they often make an episiotomy (longitudinal cut) all the way from the perineum to the anus, thereby, obviously making, yes, an easier, larger opening for delivery. This cut may be up to 3"long as they often like to insert forcepts AS WELL. However, if not rushed out of fear and cut prematurely, or cut for delivery "convenience", or massaged to induce greater stretching, the vagina may only tear 1/2 to 1" to allow the baby's head to pass. A tear never extends to the length of a cut. So take your pick: a longer, possibly unneeded cut, or a shorter tear only as much as the delivery actually requires. As such, episiotomies have actually fallen out of favour. "Experts once believed an incision would heal better than a natural tear. The procedure was also thought to help preserve the muscles and connective tissue that support the pelvic floor. Today, however, research suggests that routine episiotomies don't prevent these problems after all". Mayo Clinic. A geat piece of storytelling, though.😅

Woefully unfunny.

Way cool!! 🇺🇲🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇦 Heroyam Slava! 🇺🇦🇺🇲

I’d say do it here 😂😂

Rip and Tear, until it is done.

Still by far the best version of this masterpiece! In the early '70's John Martyn pioneered the use of the echoplex with his acoustic guitar, Tommy keeps the tradition alive!!

Some 'fun' context for the doctor midwife war: one of the earliest cases that proved germ theory came from a hospital with two maternity wards, one run by midwives and one by doctors. A man called Ignaz Semmelweis came in and observed that the doctors' ward had significantly higher death rates for both mother and child, and eventually (correctly) concluded that it was because the doctors were performing autopsies, with their bare hands, then going straight into examining laboring mothers, with their bare hands. So corpse bacteria was being introduced into the uterus, as well as into all the tears and cuts that come with labour. The mother would then contract puerperal fever and die. Semmelweis got the hospital to trial a standardised hand washing procedure for a few months, during which the death rate dropped EIGHTY PERCENT. However the doctors didn't like the notion that they were responsible for killing their patients, so they renoved all hand washing procedures and had Semmelweis committed to an asylum (which, to be fair, he was spiraling due to his depression over not being able to save people when he clearly knew how to, started drinking tons and having sex with a lot of prostitutes, so the asylum treatment wasn't entirely unfounded). Semmelweis was then beaten on arrival to the asylum, and died two weeks later from an infected wound on his hand, in a tragic twist of irony. Louis Pasteur then more formally established germ theory years later. So, while modern doctors are obviously much safer and oftentimes a necessary precaution in a birth with any chance of complications (aka any birth), I think the midwife doctor rivalry is too deeply rooted to be overcome in just a few decades of doctors being kinda reliable at their jobs, given historically midwives have always been the ones with a better grasp of how to do their jobs safely.

This man is the opposite of Janes May

One of the best one-liners on the planet!

It just works doesn't it lol

Can Something get me tabs for this? lmao

Doktor Bear did my vasectomy.

That IKEA joke was kind of insensitive, wasn't it?

Joe Rogan is more intelligent than these shills. How’s that Covid jab working for y’all?

This reminds me of the utopia soundtrack, idk why

I wanna make this my ringtone ❤❤😂

Yes Dara, your wife who is a surgeon should have told you about Swann Morton surgical blades in my city of Sheffield. You dumb paddy dip shit come over here and marry one of our Queen's and shame her up and ignore me in my nation. I suggest you wrestle a bear to say sorry to your wife. Oh test an ice cube melting into a glass of whisky from above the glass you'll notice that it adds to the volume of liquid in the glass. Like a glacier melting on land running into the sea. For such a big head your brain must rattle around in there like a peanut cushioned by spirit's.

Honest with you guys here. Karl is the very first one that I have ever heard complaining about the Great Pyramid of Giza. Ancient master architects and engineers are nothing compared to Karl I guess 😂

He was before Carr but still needs new material unless he’s retired.

"A moron, An orange shape headed monkey"

💐 Promo'SM!!!

"We're gonna have egg." "You what?" *Ugh ugh*💀 😂

This is like nails on a chalk board, the circle jerk of intelligence is unbearable. So much for skeptics, comply harder

it just tells the story of pilkopants, screams 'idiot'

While I absolutely love Dara, and am 100% with him in denouncing pseudoscience like homeopathy and the like, in this particular case he is making a mistake, albeit an understandable one. While it's hard to believe that a 'tear' can be better than a surgical 'cut' in this case it is true. The procedure is called an episiotomy and there is a solid chunk of research backing up the finding that a natural tear healed better and with fewer long term consequences. This overturned years of medical practice during which this procedure was considered routine and performed in the majority of births. Recently the guidelines have been revised, recommending an episiotomy only in specific circumstances. Just to be clear I in no way support these midwives and shamans or whoever that demonize doctors and medical assistance during the birthing process, and who inflict tremendous guilt on women who seek medical assistance in dealing with labor pains. It just so happens that in this case, experimental evidence happened to agree with them, and I bow to the evidence.

Used to watch this before this episode,lost interest after.

The best gingle of all time

One of my favourite comedians. Innovative, dead pan and very funny.

I love one-liner comedians and Stuart Francis is one of the best of them. Brilliant! 👍

Karl is bloody hilarious

epic

The tightest “tight five” in the history of tight fives.

Never realised how many times comedians repeat the same jokes🙄🙄🙄

I knew he'd be popular in Poland..

Can just imagine Ricky dancing round Karl squeezing his head, singing " la la la la "

Very funny . He doesn’t fill in with swearing .

Same... can't he think up any more?

Ricky: you got A head like a fuckng orange

Dude. Write some new material.

actually such an underrated brilliant soundtrack

Someones got a recorder........its the worst sound innit. It's the worst instrument. I'd say 'do it 'ere!

Perfectly spherical shaped head

What's it called does anyone know
