I absolutely loved this book! It gives a similar insight to the NHS as Adam Kay's books, only this one straight from the midwives! Stāsts par to, kā cilvēks ar patiesu mīlestību pret savu darbu tiek nodzīts līdz depresijai, pakļaujot riskam ne tikai pašus veselības aprūpes darbiniekus, bet arī viņu aprūpējamos. 15 gadu laikā, ko autore pavadījusi savā darbā, pie aptuveni tā paša aprūpējamo skaita, ir divreiz mazinājies vecmāšu skaits un dubultā pieaudzis administratīvais aparāts. Un tas viss līdzekļu taupīšanas rezultātā. Rezultāts gan ir tāds, ka vecmātes ir pārstrādājušās tā, ka maiņas laikā reizēm pat nepagūst apmeklēt tualeti, nerunājot nemaz par kādu kafijas pauzi.A fan of Lane’s work, I knew I'd be in for a thought-provoking read based on heaps of research and laced with true accounts. Not only is this another 5-star read, but it is also sensitively written and balances hope with the horrors.
The Secret Midwife by The Secret Midwife, Katy Weitz
As a fellow NHS professional (not midwife) I can absolutely believe that this is a true and accurate account of how the whole system works. I know that some trusts are better than others at supporting their staff from first hand experience. Ankita Shekhar, 33, was forced to attend all but one scan alone – despite the fact she doesn’t speak English. The feared Doctor Mengele is mentioned in this book, he likes to experiment on pregnant women and twins and tasks them both with alerting him to any pregnancies in the camp. A great insight into the highs and lows of midwifery. Also, a sad reminder of how terrible staffing and toxic environments can not only affect the health of patients but also of healtchare professionals.Her pregnancy was fraught with complications – made worse by pandemic restrictions which meant husband Ryan, 32, couldn’t be by her side at appointments.
