Indications

Operative vaginal delivery is indicated in case of obstructed labour.

gollark: Just 3D-print lights.
gollark: Yes, PIR uses HTTP requests to transmit incidents, what of it?
gollark: I fully expect it to be reverse-engineered within a week or so if anyone actually cares, but meh.
gollark: People were spamming PotatOS Incident Reports with false incidents, so to make it mildly harder to next time they try I added a magic obfuscated blob™ which checks if it's running in potatOS to the code for that.
gollark: I'm not sure how to quantify malice. I just reworked the incident report system a bit.
