> Can you imagine the infection risk?
Infection is not an automatic outcome. My grandma was an obstetric nurse, she witnessed surgeons in 1950s Southern Italy performing operations with rusty knives; and most patients would still be ok.
Sometimes we forget that the human race survived for thousands of years without the niceties of modern medicine. It's good to minimise risk, but in the end risk does not mean certainty of bad outcomes.
