Q: What is the purpose of an episiotomy during childbirth?
A: An episiotomy is performed to widen the vaginal opening and facilitate the delivery process, but in this specific case, it was done when the patient was not fully dilated, which raises questions about its necessity.
Q: Why do medical dramas often show doctors underneath the drape during surgeries?
A: According to the conversation, the doctor mentioned that it's done so that everyone else doesn't have to see the procedure, likely to avoid any discomfort or distress for the medical team or observers.
