I apologize that I didn't include more info regarding the article in the New Yorker.  I was dashing out the door and didn't have time to run up and get the magazine that was still on my bedside table from the night before.

 

For those interested, the article The Score: The effort to make childbirth safer written by Atul Gawande (who I assume is a MD) appears in the October 9th issue of the New Yorker magazine.  (There is a drawing of airplanes flyling over the Vermont countryside on the cover).
