""Dear Sue,
I am writing to request information on how I managed to
become a recipient of the recent mailout of information about
Cervadil. I am not aware of having provided my details to CSL,
although I may have, and would be interested to know how my name became
included on your list.
I would also appreciate it if you would not send any
further information, and please remove me from your mailing list. I
work as an independent midwife, and have no interest in ripening women's
cervices, as the women I birth with seem to be able to manage this quite
well without any interference from me! I provide 'effective and well
tolerated' support as a midwife, and I'm told by the WHO that my services
are 'cost effective' too!
Thank you, in anticipation of your response,
Tania Smallwood"
Now comes the good bit, I'm appalled to say that this was her
response....
"Hi Tania,
CSL hired the list for the mailing from the Australasian
College of Midwives. We hired the list as a once-off and will not hire it
again.
However, you are obviously completely within your rights to ask
them to keep your name off all future mailings. It would probably be best if
you do this as I don't think I can do this on your behalf.
Thanks for
your response.
Regards, Sue"
Does it disturb anyone else that the ACMI are selling our details to a
drug company (or anyone for that matter?), or am I jumping the gun? I
just normally recycle this type of propaganda, but this really has me riled
up. I'm in the middle of writing to the ACMI for an explanation, but
was just wondering if anyone else thought the same way as I did?
Cheers
Tania
