Hear hear Jennifairy! I've been keeping quiet and wondering if this is a genuine poster, or if it's someone looking for contacts, money, etc. I'm also eager to hear any constructive input into this situation, but the reality is that those of us who practice privately are armed to the gills with horror stories, and also with information about how to protect ourselves. It is unfortunately our sisters in the system who are currently under attack, and who although thinking they are covered vicariously, are finding out the hard way that nothing that is water tight...
Fire away Rosetta, we're all ears! Tania x -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jennifairy Sent: Thursday, 1 December 2005 5:04 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Litigation/Insurance issue Rosetta, to be perfectly honest with you, I would be very interested in hearing more about your offer, if it didnt sound like it was coming from a Danoz Direct marketing formula. As an independant midwife, I dont need to hear further stories about the issues we face litigation-wise - we midwives know the score & are doing it tough, taking the risk to practice the way we feel we can offer the most, knowing well what the risks are. Many midwives, whether in private practice or 'in the system', see all the time the 'horror stories' you want us to know about. Most of us know somebody who has been the subject of these kind of litigation situations, again not all in the 'private' sector. Its not us that needs to 'get the picture'! Most independant midwives know how to protect thier family home & assets - they put them into their partners name. There are very few of us that I know of that cant do that (for lack of partner eg, as in my case). As a sole parent whose gross income last year was under $20,000 (a *lot* under), I dont need to know that help is out there for me, *if I can afford it*. As far as Im concerned the kind of protection midwives want & need should not be a matter of some being able to afford it (you, you, not you) - it should be available to *all* midwives irrespective of income or workplace. I understand that you may have a genuine desire to help out midwives - if so, can I ask that you join us to lobby the Federal Government to provide midwives not only with equitable & adequate insurance for practice, but also provider numbers to put us on the same footing as many other health care professionals. Please email Robyn Thompson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for info on how you can help us. Otherwise, thanx (I think) for your offer - but some *real* information would have been more helpful, instead of something that sounds like it came from a Nigerian widow/bank official/Dutch Sweepstakes/viagra supplier.
