Today there was a gathering of people choosing to speak out for birth choices the right way. Using a public forum with nothing to hide in front of the press and open to all opinions while presenting a logical discussion of evidence based medicine. There are no confidentiality issues here and no need for such secrecy. This is not national security. Write and request an open meeting with CHW adminstration for all sides to be heard. This is the professional and respectful way to treat people. Thanks to Joyce and Kim and everyone who helped to bring forth a voice of reason today. See the clip:

Welcome to DR. STU'S BLOG. Along with my podcast at www.drstuspodcast.com it is here that I post my thoughts on a variety of topics on the birthing world. Advocacy for true informed consent and respect for individual autonomy are the basis for the musings you will read here. I hope you enjoy while you learn and I encourage you to comment. Please check out www.birthinginstincts.com for information on home birthing with an obstetrician and my latest news and updates.
The letters printed in the Ventura County Star this past Sunday were so well written - Fabulous! I am energized and still have hope that Mr. Murray will revoke his decision. I sent him and corporate my letter today, and while I can't say my letter to Mr. Murray is arguing the issue any better than those printed in the paper, I belive any effort on my part is better than none at all.
ReplyDeleteI hope anyone reading about this issue will not be intimidated - you don't need to be a doctor, nurse or even a mother, in this case, to challenge, question and demand what is right. - Dana
