RE: [ozmidwifery] re grief and childrens books
It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but a book has left a lasting impression on me is You, me and the rainbow by Petrea King (bestselling author of Quest for life). A copy of her rainbow ritual may be what you are looking for. Check them out on her website www.questforlife.com.au Cheers Belinda From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Ward Sent: Wednesday, 16 August 2006 12:10 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] re grief and childrens books I have a lovely little book on life times. It talks about all creatures from butterflies to people.

It was a lovely gentle book about a special grandfather dying and provoked lots of discussion in our house with my three girls about dying. It speaks from a cycle of life perspective with birth showing hope and new life.Unfortunately a subject we have had to deal with quite a bit in the past few years. I found it very helpful. Cath. t

Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw: info required
Good Grief Most of what I would like to say is probaobly not safe to write anywhere. Dr Mourik I have worked with in Wodonga as a student. He come here to Wang occassioanlly as a Locum much to the distress of all the midwives. Arrogant is an understatement. He "saves" women and tells them so. He is a skilled obstetrician, no doubt, but I wouldn't want him any where near me if I was birthing. An example that comes to mind when I was a student was when he was performing a perineal repair and smugly asked the husband "Want me to throw in a few extra stitches, to tighten her up?" This man is very self assured, articulate, hmmm perhaps you should just ring me at home on this one Cath. (03) 57221605.

RE: [ozmidwifery] Fw: info required
Hi Cath, I dont know anything about him and would not pass judgment on a person on a public forum anyway (or possibly privately either), so what Id suggest is to consider the idea that he/or a colleague in his field might be against midwifery led care and think through all the possible arguments that might be put forth such as perceived insufficient midwifery training or perceived insufficient midwifery experience or perceived insufficient confidence professionally for midwives in Australia and then develop counter arguments to put forth, particularly with regard to the wonderful work being done currently for midwifery in Australia refer to ACMI.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw: info required
Thanks Julie, I wasn't thinking of only negative information. more along the lines as to where has he been working, rural practise etc. This is a review of obstetric services and I guess my concern is the ongoing domination of the medical viewpoint and minimising the midwifery input. Thanks for your reply. I do remember reading an article by him but can't remember what it was in, and it was certainly not favourable to the establishment of midwifery led care. , Cath - Original Message - From: Julie Clarke To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 11:09 AM Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] Fw: info required Hi Cath, I dont know anything about him and would not pass judgment on a person on a public forum anyway (or possibly privately either), so what Id suggest is to consider the idea that he/or a colleague in his field might be against midwifery led care and think through all the possible arguments that might be put forth such as perceived insufficient midwifery training or perceived insufficient midwifery experience or perceived insufficient confidence professionally for midwives in Australia and then develop counter arguments to put forth, particularly with regard to the wonderful work being done currently for midwifery in Australia refer to ACMI.
