Farewell Dr Michel Odent πŸ™πŸ½
Thanks for all you did to champion women’s birth rights and the importance of midwives in maternity care.
This humorous interaction with Michel will stay with me forever. I dared to ask the great man to answer the question.

Will bundled maternity care deliver? Doctors don’t think so - Medical Republic A plan to bundle maternity care so midwives and GPs could be funded to manage pregnancy and birth in private hospitals is just a way to maximise insurance profits, says a leading obstetrician.

Why is it the moment you mention bundled payments private obstetricians have a fit? I smell a rat πŸ€

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
