Reading Janet McCalman's history of the Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne, is a humbling, emotional experience. It tells us so much about women--as nurses, as patients, and as childbearers, wives, victims, sufferers, champions. For nurses, and particularly for those of us who are midwives, it presents a remarkably unsanitized--and at times confronting account--of our profession.
阅读珍妮特·麦卡尔曼所著的墨尔本皇家女子医院的历史，是一次令人谦卑且充满情感的经历。它向我们讲述了诸多关于女性的故事——作为护士、患者、生育者、妻子、受害者、受苦者、倡导者的女性。对于护士，尤其是像我们这些助产士而言，它呈现了我们这个职业一段极为真实且有时颇具冲击力的描述。
