I just wanted to say well done to you for your efforts yesterday. Sounds like you handled it beautifully! I hope everything turns out well with this "incident report" (hopefully the fact that she had a problemless birth will support your actions!)
Love to you,
Sazz

Pheewww......Peiter Mourik used to come to our hospital and give inservices when he held clinics there. I would back up Wendy's comments. He's very clever with words and is god's gift to women - always saving them! He believes that midwives can only be independant when they can do forceps/ventouse births!Sorry, negative comments after a bad evening when I stood up for a labouring woman who did not wish to have a VE when the GP ob wanted to do one as how else would he know whether she was progressing or not. He's writing an incident report about me for not supporting him. He asked how I planned to manage the labour and I told him that the woman was managing the labour and I would be worried if she became worried. The woman proceeded to birth without problem. Just feeling upset and hurt as he is my GP and we usually work well together, but probably most other women are not as strong in standing up for themselves.JoyJoy Cocks RN (Div 1) RM IBCLC

I believe this is a man who is quite against midwifery led services and I'm a bit puzzled as to why I have been asked to be one of the 2 midwifery reps at this dinner. But very pleased at the same time, and more than happy to be a part of this. Can anyone fill me in on what they know of this man? Cath.
