I find it difficult to put my overwhelming sense of waste into words. Last year I had to share some of it with a group of 28 participants in a childbirth education class. I mentioned at the start of the session that I would like to acknowledge remembrance day at 1100 by stopping the session for one minute's respectful silence. The group agreed, at 1100 they were all involved in small group discussions but stopped following the gentle reminder that it was 1100 and 29 people remained silent for that minute. A very powerful minute.   Alesa     Alesa Koziol Clinical Midwifery Educator Melbourne
