The ones I met were part of the "brain drain" as it was called at the time--not enough jobs in Ireland. The nurses were amazed at lower standards of American medical care, and also at the long arm of the law: before learning anything about medical procedures, they were indoctrinated in the importance of the malpractice suit. In the States, doctors are terrified of malpractice. In Ireland, is it the church? Inform me! And thanks very much for writing back.The Critical Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340482094492988140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010339629775208651.post-28260879664121594472012-11-22T11:22:18.200-08:002012-11-22T11:22:18.200-08:00Yes it is horrific and it is not as simple as bein...Yes it is horrific and it is not as simple as being a catholic country. I have been fighting for change for over 20 years now and we need the medical profession to push for legislation to allow them to be able to act as every case depends on where you are and who (and what they believe) are in charge. This will be denied but when you are in the front line this is the reality. Do not give up on us, support us in trying to make this legislation come into being and be workable. At the end of the day, it is a woman's choice,,,,,or should be. Note too that in Turkey, they are trying to restrict caesareans and change the laws there too. No matter where in the world you are, women should have the human right to choose for themselves in all areas of reproduction. This whole debate again has caused such deep hurt and division but it has also made a whole new generation realise that some rights do not exist and that they have to become politicized.Grainnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010339629775208651.post-91139672232942547212012-11-16T04:18:45.963-08:002012-11-16T04:18:45.963-08:00Yes--it's horrifying.

Religious rules should not interfere in the decision making and action. It is surprising that an advanced country like Ireland is making such a Gross mistake.Love SMShttp://hindisms.org/sms/hindi-love-smsnoreply@blogger.com
