Is only a matter of gender?

What are the benefits for a man to be a midwife, what are the drawbacks?

In men the work like midwife is very important because this way is internalized with the problems facing a woman, from her point of view and thus can understand everything them, by getting in and place of women and seeing all the man differences processes by which they pass.
I think that the inconvenient is in that many women do not like to be treated by a man, because he feels uncomfortable and unreliable.

Do you think gender issues also affect other health professionals?

I think the problem mainly affects gender in the case of midwives, since it is centralized in women, whereas in the other area of health professional attentions are widespread.

What do you think you can do to reduce gender problems in your career?

I think that must be shown that both men and women have the same abilities to do the work of midwives. I have heard cases where women feel much more comfortable temple attended by a man by a woman because they say that man is more delicate to treat them, because he does not experience pain or sensations felt by the woman.

Do you know or think gender issues among health workers are similar in other countries?
I do not know, but I think it depends on exactly where we are talking, and sociocultural aspects of each site, but overall I think it does not occur as well as in Chile.

My future as a health professional

Hello, hope you are all well.

Today, I going to talk about how my future once I will finish my studies.

Frist of all, the first that I do with the term of my career, I will cancel the debts that have with the state of Chile, xD...!!

Later I get married with my boyfriend, his name is Carlos. He study medicine at the medine faculty of the University of Chile, where until now we have the same interest and hope it continues. If I finish my studies and I have not boy friend, I maybe spend traveling from around the worldor the same contry. I do not want to haver childrens, but possibly I thikn have a child in years to come.

When I begin to work, I intend to start public or private hospitals, but always on the urgency, I woudl like to take turns, because I have that to use my youth, because after 30 years, the body is tired and overwhelmed. Then when I stop to do tunrs, I intend to stard working in rural hospitals or in places were more hepl is needed, because my interest has always been to help to the people without sufficient resources or simple the distance of the city keeps isolated. With this I will have esperience in different workplaces, so that in this way to th end of my working I can finish my years in a consulting room of the health and a quiet life.

Basically, I´m not very fond of births, it is not my area of interest

in the 100%, as already mentioned en previous blog, I want to focus primarily on women´s health beyound the gestation period, if not before, during and after the whole process through the implementation of contraceptive methods, prevention of STIs (Transmitting sexual infections), as it very important to see all these points, because we avoid unguanted pregnancies and diseases, congenital melformations in the petus, among many other things and so would be helping the mother and baby.

I thikn that would be my main contribution, for now these are my projects and I hope can be met if God lest me.

Thanks for reading my blog again, see you at the next meeting.

Kisses for you.

María José Rodríguez Carozzi, future midwife.

Why I decided to study Obstetrics?

When I was about to enter of the University, I had my eye on destistry, but the score in the university selection test was not very high. Between my opsion, I had the Profession of Midwifery.

At first, I did not know it was, then for this reason, I wanted to study midwifery.

Then, I discoveres the important work of midwives and how beautiful their work.


Now, I think this is right for me, because one of the areas that I liked in the lives of humans beings, is the reproduction and sexual transmitted infections. Therefore, is in those areas where I want to focus as a future midwife also include adolescent presnancy as one of my biggest concerns.


One of the things taht shaped my vision of the work of midwives, was a trip I made to the community Lolol sixth region of Chile, where I went to do volunteer work. Here I met other students of obstetrics, somo third and fifth year. They taught me many new things, or in fact unknown to me.

Among them I met Nicole and Sebastian, both fifth year students. I showed the work of midwives, but it makes me part of thir shares or playing with them every one of the things done in the care of a board of midwifery. They taught me to do physical breast exam, taking PAP Tets, to draw blood to babies, to realize vaginal touch examination, among other things.

Now, they are my friends and every time I do not understand something, ask them to be 100% safe and do everythig right.

Today, I am in love with my future career as a midwife, and just want to work hard to become a professional and therefore help to women and and also for future students who may need help and knowledge.

My experience whit the Earthquake

Well, I have a little fear to the quakes.

The day 27 of february of this year, I was in the house of my granmother, because only I haved a days more the vacations. in the night I went to sleep, but I could not.

Then to the 3:34 hours, the eart began to move.

I was a little afraid, because the movemment increasingly strong. In this momnet I wanted only to run, but my granmother calmed me, because I before have never lived an earquake. I think that if I had been alone, maybe I might not tell this history.

To the other day, I only wanted to return to my home, because I needed to see my parents. I came to my home on Sunday, in the afthernoon. All the persons were in the street conversing, because the light had beed cut.

During many days after the eartquake, I could not sleep, because I was dreaming that the floor would tremble again.

I believe that I do not have to react this way, because as future matron, I should be calmer.

For example, if I was in a delivery and began to temble. I only should protect the mom and her baby, for that it does not happen to them not badly at all.

Since today I will try not to be afraid and I will think much before doing something, because it is not the best solution to go out running...
