There was, however, one ancient old gynaecologist in the room who took offence to our passion for change! He got up and basically patted us on the head and told us we had no idea what we were talking about. Much to our delight, this gave us the perfect opportunity to respond and go way over the time limit we had been allocated. We were calm but assertive and as a result, people were congratulating us all night and apologising for the old guy who had been somewhat rude! Even the president of the club rang the next day to offer his congratulations!
Hi Tori...
congratulations to you and Pamela....I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall...particularly with the happenings above....I really think people are wising up to this "ancient" authoritarian, 'doctor knows best', 'there there dear' 'trust me I'm the doctor' atttitude.....he probably looked a real goose and did more good than harm to your cause....fantastic work you fantastic women!!!!!!!!
yours in reforming midwifery
