I'm wondering though, apart from what the employers may think when they read them, perhaps the public knowing how some health professionals think is a good thing. All workers need to be aware that HR departments are starting to google and monitor social media sites, so breaches will be identified and prosecuted. Good manners, confidentiality and other ethical and professional competencies are the same no matter what medium we communicate within.Thinkbirthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813359204378047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850993991742337865.post-26065050585043240142010-08-18T09:06:21.220+10:002010-08-18T09:06:21.220+10:00Rachel and Anonymous, you are right when you say t...Rachel and Anonymous, you are right when you say that these videos highlight the misogynist nature of maternity care. Interestingly on twitter, the general comment regarding these videos is something like this 'this cracks me up oh, I had one like that yesterday!' <br /><br />There is a lot of work still to be done in changing the way maternity care providers work and maternity care is given. The first step is in exposing the underbelly of misogyny in maternity care both to the practitioners and the public.Thinkbirthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813359204378047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850993991742337865.post-49909307469453286312010-08-18T07:36:00.203+10:002010-08-18T07:36:00.203+10:00Thanks for posting these videos Carolyn.

And as you said, this type of thing just perpetuates these attitudes. On the other side, they also paint a pretty poor picture of maternity care. If they weren't so judgemental and unkind toward women, they would be quite a good tool for highlighting the absurdity of the dominant approach to childbirth (medicalised).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850993991742337865.post-44597777507556775432010-08-17T19:19:20.772+10:002010-08-17T19:19:20.772+10:00How awful.
