There he was in charge of a 17-person medical team comprised of general surgeons, anesthesiologists, critical care nurses and physicians and medics. Our mission was to provide medical support to military units that were operating in the region, trying to stabilize the border and prevent the Taliban from transporting weapons and drugs through the mountain passes of Pakistan,” says Dr. Peterson. Working in a small medical facility on the base, Dr. Peterson and his team were focused on stabilizing combat-injured and critically wounded soldiers—of which there was a steady flow—and transferring them to hospitals with more advanced clinical capabilities.

- Family-Centered Cesareans | Salem Hospital | Mass General Brigham
- The safety and well-being of you and your baby is our top priority, and there are certain medical situations in which a family-centered approach would not be possible. An intravenous IV line will be started that will administer fluids and medication during and after your cesarean birth. Your physician will prescribe pain medication in one of two ways: on a "when needed" basis, i.e. when you ask the nurses for it or a "patient controlled analgesia" PCA pump that administers medicine through your IV when you need it. On your first day, we recommend you take pain medication at regular intervals to control the pain.

Erin believes that if she had been in a different hospital, she might have been pressured to undergo unnecessary medical intervention.
