A littler saner, I make the following comments:
1. What are the FACTS about complaints against midwives, nurses, doctors and other health professionals???
There are enough academic and institutional members of this list to get some FACTS on this. Surely there are annual reports somewhere that report them. Has anyone collated them??
2. With the facts in hand, then we can consider the matter further.
Cheers!
