RE: Left-handed VEs

[Colin Larkin]

"Similiarily, when placing plates on the table for your dining guests, the plate should always be presented from the right of your guest and placed gently in front as obsequiously as possibly so as not to disturb any dinner conversation which you guest may be engaging in, even to the extent of waiting until an important point or pause is arrived at. Choose your moment, as timing is always an important factor at every successful dinner, luncheon or other engagement"   Marion French, The Good Housewives Manual, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1948. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 12 December 2001 10:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Left-handed VEs A midwife friend told me that when she did her training many years ago she was "forced" to carry out all palpations and vaginal exams with her right hand (she is lef-handed). I would never be able to use my left hand for VEs and still have to palpate from the woman's right! Angela
