As a O & G Specialist and Consultant, Bob is called to perform the difficult deliveries or "Caesars" (C-Sections). All non-complicated deliveries are done by Midwives. Approximately 800 Babies are born at Wanganui Hospital "Maternity" (Labor and Delivery) each year, of which about 10% are water births.

The surgerical team also includes a "instrument sister" (scrub nurse) and a "house officer" (intern) and "registrar" (resident). Bob performs a lot of surgery on "clients" (patients) that have waited for up to two years to be operated on.
