		<description>That's the definition of a really great medical practioner... whether they be a nurse, a doctor or a registrar - they have the knowledge that there are certain things that medical science just cannot explain, they understand when to roll with their instincts despite all odds.  That's what a medical practitioner &lt;i&gt;should&lt;/i&gt; be.</description>

		<description>I so agree, GM, the power of the human touch is beyond measuing. We all need it. I became enthralled with the male massage a few years back and regularly book massages. Now, now ladies, all nice and above board, alas.

		<description>There is nothing more comforting than the human touch.  We instinctively hold a sick person's hand when we visit.  It is an inborn and natural need.</description>

I am like that if I sit on a couch with someone!  My body is drawn like a magnet to the body heat.  Well that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :roll:</description>

		<description>Thank God the nurse has sense!! My daughter's twins always searched for each other when they were infants. She could put them down on either end of a big crib and in a matter on minutes, they would be side by side, touching.</description>

		<description>@Nick - I would love an update on Brielle and Kyrie.  Hopefully they are happily sharing hugs with family and friends.

@Steph - I too shared time in a cardiac unit with gentlemen 'neighbours'!  Thankfully there was no suggestion of ‘double bedding’!    It gave a whole new meaning to sighing and deep breathing! :roll:

@Baino - I agree with youwe coddle and cosset our infants far to much for their own good.

I will remember your tips if I ever decide to buy a puppy. ;)</description>

		<description>Grannymar, we've sanitised parenthood to such an extreme that we 'toddler tame' and use 'controlled crying' Third world mums, give birth strap their babies to their breast or back and don't need counselling . . there's something to be learned there . . hey we all need physical contact. Hell if we buy a puppy we even give it a hot water bottle, a smelly sock and a clock to emulate mum's heartbeat . .don' we?</description>
