squeefulfishTwo things from yesterday's Irish Times:
Ireland to participate in CEMACH, woo! We've needed a CEMACH equivalent for donkey's, but being such a small country and with very low maternal mortality it's very difficult for it to stay confidential. There have been something like three maternal deaths in Ireland since I started my training, it's no secret who they were. This is certainly not me complaining about a low maternal mortality rate!
Drogheda midwife led unit passes the 1000 birth mark! More woo! This, this is why I do what I do. And an awful lot of my continued passion for what I do is down to Cecily Begley and her organisational skills. Thanks to her, my course exists in the form is does and I have a lot of contact with a wonderful kooky sociology lecturer who keeps us passionate about protecting the normality of pregnancy. Because it is a normal physiological event.
I love my job.
