Hi All Janet consumer letters are published quite regularly (well MC members seem to be). I had a corker refuting Pieter Mourik's assertion re homebirth safety where I called him 'factually impotent' Letters to the Ed are hard to crack. I have a 50/50 success rate. After a while you adapt to a style (I can write 200 very cutting words these days to span the myriad of issues but it has TAKEN A LOT OF PRACTICE!)
Remember you will never get published if you go over word count. I would congratulate Adam Cresswell for naming Obstetricians groups as "Industrial lobby groups"! I love it. Also let's ask Dr Pesche about his evidence on Australian safety re midwife models (we know he hasn't got it!!) E-mail is always best (but most do that these days I know). Some allow 250 words but I seem to stay on 200! They rather individuals not orgs (so unless I am correcting a wrong of an article I have been in and one usually gets right of reply) I go as an individual. Keep up the great work Kind regards Justine Caines -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
