Hi Rhonda,
I too am disappointed that the board has not continued with your
complaint.
It is really sad that there is no conciliation only the hiding of the
truth. The medical fraternity gather themselves together to hide the
truth. We must keep gathering together to shine light on the truth. I
hope that even if your complaint did not have enough evidence (according
to the board!) you have given the Drs. involved a fright and pray that
they are more careful in the future.
It's all too sad and frustrating really.
BUT people like you who stand up, question and tell their stories do
change things. Give confidence and strength to other women to question
what happens to them and realize that they have a right to challenge the
Drs. There is much power in this.
I believe that in the end the power to change is held by consumers.
Battles between Drs and midwives look too much like a power struggle.
Women who stand up and say "this is what I want" make the difference.
Midwives stand with the women to say I support this.
In peace and joy
Sally Westbury
