Re: [ozmidwifery] pelvic exams

I like to think they do it with the woman's permission. Imagine going to theatre for a procedure and finding out that while you were there half a dozen med students had a go at sicking their fingers in your vagina without your permission. I thought the word for that was RAPE Andrea Quanchi On

RE: [ozmidwifery] pelvic exams

We learn by doing the exam on women, with their consent, and awareness that we are students. In the days I did mid training they may not have been aware we were students. Lets face it, we all have to learn our craft, and internal exams can only be learnt by practical means. Like birthing

RE: [ozmidwifery] pelvic exams

Dear Jo Midwives [or at least most of us] recognise the erkyness of having a ve. So we ask, ask, ask, when we are learning, when we are looking after a woman in labour and at all other times. I cannot imagine not asking permission for such a thing or ever supervising a student who did not

Re: [ozmidwifery] pelvic exams

Student Midwives gain consent from the women, in most cases the supervising midwife would gain consent as the women often feel bad about saying no directly to the student. The woman is aware that the midwife is a student, aware that they are learning, usually aware whether they are beginning in

Student midwives learn pelvic exams by actually caring for the woman and then requesting to be allowed to follow an experienced midwives examination of the cervix with their own attempt. A negative answer is respected. Many women are happy to say yes. Cheers Judy [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [ozmidwifery] pelvic exams

Hi Darren I agree with you that its ironic to petition the OBs in order for change. I believe that about 10 years ago or so in New Zealand Midwifery was facing a similar crisis to what Oz is facing today. The solution they found to be very successful was to encourage consumers of
