Re: [ozmidwifery] Midwife of the year
Heard the interview Mary (thanks to my DH who listens while driving and thoughtfully phoned me to tell me to switch on the radio) Well done on the interview - you came across very well indeed, a very positive plug for midwifery care. And many congratulations on your award - unfortunately I cannot make it to the IMD evening tonight, but hope it is a good evening for all who can.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Midwifery Strengths
How about the fact that midwives provide more that 90% of the woman's care regardless of whether they are in the private or public system. That most babies are actually delivered by midwives and that they mostly provide one on one care in the public system. Could explore the nursing theory that Patients see the care provided by all nurses as a continuum of nursing care, not as a series of individual nursing events (Christensen, Episodic continuity - try a search google on Christensen +episodic continuity +midwifery). How does this apply to midwifery? Does it apply at all? How does this apply to the ideal of 1 on 1 midwifery care throughout the pregnancy continuum. Can we provide good care outside this model. When women don't understand what the doctor said or why they want to do something they ask the midwife to explain. Midwives tend to give information in a way women understand and are often better at presenting all the risks, benefits and options to women. Sometimes this creates a challenge for the midwife who has to work within the system yet must be the womans advocate. rgds mike On 5/5/06, Great Birth Men at Birth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: G'da Denise, Andrew Bisits is an obstetrician.

Re: [ozmidwifery] article FYI
Interesting that doctors would say they have risks ? On 5/5/06, leanne wynne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Calif. law would ban Cruise ultrasound copycats Bill restricting home setups like star's moves on to state Senate SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The California Assembly has voted to restrict the use of ultrasound machines for personal use, approving a bill that would allow them to be sold only to licensed professionals. Democratic Assemblyman Ted Lieu introduced the bill after Mission: Impossible III star Tom Cruise bought an ultrasound machine to see images of his unborn child. The actor's fiancee, Katie Holmes, gave birth to the couple's daughter, Suri, last month in Los Angeles. Doctors and technologists typically receive years of training to perform ultrasound exams, which help obstetricians check a baby's health. Cruise was criticized by doctors who said improperly using the devices can harm a fetus. Lieu said his bill was intended to prohibit copycats from using the devices at home. An ultrasound machine listed on the online auction site eBay was selling for $5,500 Wednesday. What we don't want is someone who unintentionally damages the fetus, Lieu said Thursday on the Assembly floor. If someone sees Tom Cruise buy one, they think this is the thing to do, added Lieu. There's really no medical reason for an untrained person to use this machine. The actor's publicist, Paul Bloch, did not return phone messages seeking comment. Cruise has been promoting his new film, which opens in theaters Friday. Ban on unlicensed use The chamber voted 55-7 to pass the bill and send it to the Senate. The bill prohibits a manufacturer or person from selling, leasing or distributing an ultrasound machine to any person other than a licensed practitioner. Some Republican lawmakers questioned whether the bill would prohibit the use of ultrasound devices by private companies that provide keepsake photos for parents-to-be. Lieu said it would not, as long as the person operating the machine was licensed under a certain section of the state's Business and Professions Code. Laboratory tests have shown that certain diagnostic levels can affect human tissue, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The agency has determined that keepsake fetal videos and personal snapshots are an unapproved use of a medical device. The machine is also used by doctors on a high-frequency setting to get a better image of an adult's kidneys, pelvis, uterus and other internal organs. There are many settings you would only use on adults and not on a fetus, said Dr. Miyuki Murphy, director of ultrasound at Radiological Associates of Sacramento. Obviously, somebody enamored with their own child would want to use it all the time, said Murphy, identified by the California Medical Association as an expert on the topic. You might push that button because the pictures are prettier. Critics of the bill said lawmakers should leave such decisions to health professionals. We don't have the expertise to dispense medical advice, said Assembly woman Audra Strickland, the mother of a 6-month-old daughter. (c) 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
