Following the post from Lynne Staff, and others who
talk of supportive (might even say sensible) obstetricians who do practice woman
friendly care. Wouldn't it be good if some of these rare creatures came out and
spoke to their less supportive colleagues about their methods, beliefs and
results.
I often wonder why Michel Odent does not speak to
them more - he preaches to the converted talking to midwives. Although I
remember my colleague asking him this at the Future Birth conference, he
answered in that gorgeous accent "Ah well, you know, obstetricians, zey are not
ma favourite people"
Wouldn't it be great if our obs, who clearly do not
know about good birthing practices, listened to those who do, and who can back
it up with facts and figures. God knows they don't listen to midwives -
maybe one of their own would have more effect?
Just wishing....
