Dear list,
This is Fiona. I just want to let everyone know how thoughtful and appreciative your replys were. I will go on and l will keep fighting. You are all my inspiration to continue to provide the best possible care to women and their families. In Mildura, we have started putting on info nights through our ACMI sub branch called "Women talking to Women' Our attendance at these groups have not been great and l am sure that some of these women have been told not to listen to us from their OB's. I went to each clinic of theirs to put up flyers and l have found out that they did not even put them up! I am sure they just chucked them in the bin. Oh well, we dont need them anyway.
I will go on and l am going to make damn sure that l do everything possible to make all aspects of care safe and enjoyable for the women l come across (and also support my fellow midwives).
Also had a look at the patients bill of rights. My god, there never followed are they!!!
I also work as a maternal and child health nurse in the community. Does anyone know any approaches l can use from this angle?
Also if you were to have your own little private antenatal / midwifery advice clinic, how could you do this without insurance?
Again thankyou. I am very proud to be a midwife and when l have my children there is no way l am birthing in a hospital. If it so happens, drs will only come near me if it was a life or death situation!!! I already have my birth planned for when ever it happens. Have to get pregnant first l guess (LOL).....
Fiona.....
