Syndrome blank page: the gateway to another world

This begins with the white page syndrome, looking at forms of the paper (in this case the monitor) and try to see what they disclose. I'm not who writes, is the paper which reveals to the pen what it have...
Like all ritual, have procedures: a long period of contemplation, a period of writing without stopping and reverence.
Contemplation: In this stage consists to look with face of fool of the page, view the page until that is no longer only blank, appear fine lines and stains that gradually take meaning, and will be pictures, words, songs, theses, reports, books-keeping, works of art. Write as if the world were to end: This part uses a great concentration; the idea is not to lose the difficult relationship that forms in the contemplative stage. Here translates what the white paper said to a language understandable to all, in my case is usually Spanish. Reverence: At this stage, is made known to others the translation of the page, put in discussion, is shown to the entire new son who has brought this world. Most mortals do to seek admiration, support, or simply for their work is valued and accepted by peers. This is a tribute to the paper blank, but usually the author is who takes credit of the translation and makes appropriations of the honor, he forgets that the paper is who has "spoken" and says that is only a simple holder, at this moment the name of the reverence is publication.
Many have over time forgotten this fact, and therefore the world is currently so, we try to do us great and famous with topics that have been revealed, and we not give the truths credit to who deserves it: paper.

Education and prevention, the challenge of the midwife

Education and prevention is a very important issue today, but I want to emphasize on this occasion in his innovative vision. The old model of care raised heal/heal the symptoms to restore health. This new model it does is try to maintain health, to intervene before the filing of a pathology, promote healthy lifestyles, to reach an optimal situation where we should not deal with pathologies (only the strictly unavoidable.)
In this new model, there is still much to do, in my future professional role, I can take the following steps:
1 inform users about the dangers of certain behaviors that present at the time of consultation (smoking, alcoholism, etc)
2 Empowering the users to be trained as instructors, this will cause a change in the family as the head of household to take measures to promote a healthy lifestyle.
3 Interventions in schools on sex education, since this is a topic a bit weak and should be strengthened.
4 Increase the budget for television advertising. Currently the advertising that calls an unhealthy lifestyle in a long time than paid advertising by the health system
5 Conduct workshops free assistance on specific pathologies that affect a community group (for example: cancer, AIDS, etc)
There is still much to do in this area, which is why the new generation of professionals have incorporated this model into their formation, depends on us as a new generation gradually increase the acceptance of this model.
We have big challenges, not to lower the encourage, in our hands is the future!

Gender roles in health care

This is a topic very important. My experience in studying a career that mostly are women has not been easy, and that your activity main is the care of woman, because implies understand the other gender, is other fisiology that experiment processes that I can only imagine and that never I going to suffer.
Another important point is the laws and unions bit inclusive, for example the health code does not include accoucheur (matrón) within the articles 117 and 118 that explain what is the professional role. This makes it creates a sense of marginalization.
Another example is the Chilean College of Midwives, the first thing we see is that the guild name does not include the other gender (the school says that the name change is in the hands of the minister of economy), but still well within its requirements for schools requires the title of midwife (http://www.colegiodematronasdechile.cl/info.asp?Ob=3&Id=79) but what about the accoucheur?
This has led to a movement on Facebook by the feeling of marginalization, groups such as "Solo matrones" or "MatrÓnes of Chile" have noted this, pushing for are more inclusive our area with the 10% of professionals (the men).
In other career should happen something similar , for example nursing.
for this bicentennial I believe in laws more inclusive in everything that has to do with gender.

My Furute


In my future, I would love to work in public health. I think there is still much progress in this area.
I also like to work in childbirth, promoting the new model of "humanized delivery, need to incorporate this new model of attention being and holistic vision that integrates the user, in other words, it is based beyond the biological, is to see to the user as a whole and attend to that point of view, delivering better care. Professional in my future as I want to promote this kind of attention for its revolves around the user and be able to give you the confidence and support.
I think we should change the Chilean midwifery, although the figures have been lower maternal and fetal mortality, nothing prevents Complimentary documentation we cannot better care, yet not visualize where I work, but I'm sure to promote it and now I think are my ideals.
I would love to work in the public system because I have always attended there, and also we need more professionals in this level of care to reduce waiting time and improve quality.
My commitment is to women, welfare, enforce their rights and especially to strengthen ties with this new life that transported for nine months in her womb.

Midwife at heart

Although from the start I never thought studying obstetrics falls in love with the career.
I knew from the outset that it my topic is health. My teachers encouraged me in this decision. At school I said I wanted to study medicine.
I met the outcome of the PSU I realized that the score reached me to study medicine, but not in a traditional. The teacher who helped me told me to could to study obstetrics reached without any problem, it was a difficult decision because something had heard about it, but not encouraged me a lot, and anyway I applied for this strange race.
I met the results of the nominations, had two options: the waiting list of medicine at the University of Valparaiso (Campus San Felipe) or studying obstetrics at the University of Chile with a secure fit.
Given these two options that I had no "go to the safe" and studying in the best school of obstetrics in Chile and Latin America (That's what I learned later)
During the first year, I loved the career, because the teachers of the school encourage me when we talked about the profession. I can’t imagine of anything other than this, I think this is my place and my future.
This is a wonderful career working on something beautiful: a woman and her desire to raise a family. There is nothing that fills me more in the world. This is the better career of all!!!
I am happy with this decision of destiny.

My experiance in "The Earthquake"

Already almost to two months of the earthquake, the memory even is fresh...
That night I have exited late of the work, around of the 2:00 AM, I was very tired because was one day very hard. The night of the earthquake, Ihad slep only one hour. My mother in the moment it all started me waked saying "shaking.... son is shaking", I very quiet answered ironically "I already me realized", after started all to move more strong, in that moment I taked to my brother for out, never I had never felt so scared in my life, I did not realize how I got out. My mother exited after that we, because was to search something to shelter us.
To my family and my house not passed nothing with earthquake.

I do not want to relive this experience...
