2002-08-29 Thread Andrea Quanchi
I have just been shown the weekend paper that had an article about independent midwives in it. Robyn Thompson put forward a confident picture of not being defeated by the withdrawal of insurance but what I found distressing was the need of another midwife to bag the ACMI in public.

I am moved to comment here. I too think that it's really important that we can discuss things freely within the professional group and also in its periphery and outside of it, but seeing as how ACMI supports the direction of midwife-led (medically-backed) care, the strength of the case for all
