I have been thionking a lot about the complain process that I wne
through - it took 2 1/2 yrs to get a very vague reply of - Well because
the midwife who could support your claims may not be in the country any
more - we don't know where she is (REALLY!) There isn't any prooof
and we have had a letter form the ob's solicitor warning us that unless we
have absolute proof we can't even repremand him. How
laughable.
But, we are sure that you have a genuine complaint and don't doubt
that you have had a terrible and traumatic experience.
Hmm - I guess it was worth it in a way. But, I am thinking that
if an increasing number of women made complaints no matter how small the
problem just the complaints about unnecessary iontervbention. Some
will be huge complaints and others the woman having twins who is not able
to have a vaginal delivery because of red tape - she should be encouraged
to complain.
When you go to social security you are given a place to complain to -
women who have babies are not told. We need to make sure women know
how to complain and who to -
The best place I found was the medical Practitioners board - as the
Health Services Commisioner was a joke - a big joke that is basically
there to deter you from going to the medical practitioners board and
wasting there time. Therefore, complaint's here are generally
swept under the carpet so the Medical practitioners board don't know what
the doctors are actually doing.
So I guess it is up to all of you - to encourage women with
genuine complaints to write letters to the medical practitioners board -
over poor bedside manner, lack of freedom of safe choices, stubborn ob's
set in their ways, over use of interventions, the torture they are putting
women through.
They will have to do something if they keep hearing about it they
will eventually see the full picture as we see it.
I really believe that this is the only way the doctors are going to
change - start at the top - Make them accountable for their actions.
