Colonial Concerns

In Colonial America, men did not even attend the birthing of their children (it was considered indecent to do so). After the American Revolution, and especially after the War of 1812, doctors and hospitals began to proliferate across the country. Families that were well-off adopted the viewpoint that midwives simply didn’t have the prerequisite obstetric knowledge, and increasingly trusted doctors in childbirth. In 1817, a forward-thinking Washington, D.C. doctor named Thomas Ewell sought federal funds for a hospital-affiliated school to offer formal training to midwives. The request was denied, and his vision of such a training center was never fulfilled.

Biblical Proportions

Midwives nevertheless have been celebrated by civilizations going back as far as ancient Greece and Rome – indeed, the mother of Socrates was believed to have been a midwife. The practice of midwifery is even mentioned in the Bible (in Exodus and in Genesis), and was instrumental in the survival of the human species through the misery of the Dark Ages.

In this strange, modern world, childbirth has gone all over the map – some people have even discussed having their child born in the presence of (gulp) dolphins. Birthing videos are now a part of many family libraries, and beginning in the 1980s, families once again began opting for “natural” or at-home childbirth, assisted by a midwife, rather than going through the usual hospital procedures. Medical experts may cringe at such a choice, but the midwife remains prominent in the living-room-turned-delivery-room.

Witch doctors are those people who believe that God gave them a special power to heal other people’s sickness. Some of them treat there self as God already.

But for me, they are just an ordinary people like as. Though they use magic still its not came from Gods power. For my belief black magic is from the devil. And those witch doctors all around the globe should not be accepted as a real doctor that can heal a powerful and not ordinary human and most specially a God.

For me, they are just messing up everything. They poison peoples mind to let them believe that they are powerful, that they can be compared with our creator and they can heal the people’s illness.

For how many years I’ve stayed here in the earth I’ve seen many witch doctors already. They are trying to cure the sick person. But, months, years have past nothings happen. It’s just a waste of money and time for me. Waste of money because every session they makes in healing they ask for a payment but still nothing has happen even improvement. Waste of time because the sick person should be in the hospital and being cured by the real doctor.

There are many witch doctors all over the world. Some of them are real but some of them are fake. Maybe some people believe them that they can heal and they have powers but just always remember don’t be a devils follower. Always believe that God is the only savior we have.
