   futureTMA replied to futureTMA's topic in Men

   Apologies, I wasn't trying to be inaccurate but quick. However, Karen is right but my last post was pretty inaccurate. I should have posted a news link. I did read some articles about his case. However, what you wrote is accurate. Thanks for the ...

   Just an update but Andrew Moyhing has won his case on appeal. It's been a ruckus in the UK news. He won 550 pounds (about $900) in compensation which he declined because he just wanted the judgement.

   Hi, welcome janna; I'm a nursing student and currently certifying to be a doula. Here's two threads (not long) that convinced me to be a doula: https://allnurses.com/forums/f35/glorified-birth-junkies-139427.html https://allnurses.com/forums/f35/dou...

   I haven't abandoned you :) I've been keeping up with the posts and there is some very good discussion and points. I feel I can't comment without schooling or experience.

   Of course, I agree with you. Obviously there are several things to consider, but this makes for a robust healthy person, hopefully.

   futureTMA replied to yaz's topic in CNM

   Yes, the media (news, especially) loves to portray us as a broken gender mostly by promoting us as sexual predators. The incidence of female sexual predators (which is rising) is handled very differently even in the courts.

   :yelclap: Definitely an AMEN to that! The problem is we have different ideas on how to get to that solution. The author isn't being territorial, just questioning why things are done in the hospital as they are when her experience and research says t...

    mitchsmom, when I mentioned that she must be looking at research, I meant that only for that post and not the whole article. Deb has spoken :) No more third person. I should tell you that that was my idea and obvious doing to try to carry out the d...

    Thanks Deb, you have a lot of good insight, as usual. Obviously, people have some convictions about this and that's good. I agree with SmilinBluEyes in that all people need to be responsible about their healthcare and question things, even routine pr...
