One of my kids was a forceps delivery. She was turned, and stuck partway through the process. And no, Chemda, there was no way to "open the thing". As it was, she came out and had to go on a respirator, and without the forceps, might not have made it at all. The process caused some slight damage to one eye, but it was a small issue in comparison to what might have been. Like anything, it's the person doing the procedure, not the procedure itself, that's the greatest danger. In our case, the doctor earned all the thanks we could give him.
