Plagiarism:I am a real blogger

So it seems I am a real blogger:), I had my first taste of plagiarism today. My post on selecting good prenatal care providers appeared in Ryan journal today.

I am glad you liked my post enough to include on your site but please give credit to the source. Thats simple basic good manners.My aim is to educate first time moms on the prudence of selecting good prenatal care and I am happy you have decided to join me in the journey. Please let me know who you are and give credit to the source

As I told to Tish Eller, the patient advocate at my hospital meeting. "Lying to me abount my condition, keeping me away from my newborn and then passing blame on one doctor whom patint has not met and is unlikely to meet "This isnt about being a good or bad doctor, This is about being a good human being.

The good parts...

The experience has certainly made me a better person than I ever was. So lets focus on what I have gained from this

1. I never take things in my life for granted. I relish each day I get to spend with my baby, my husband, my family.

2. I enjoy the simple pleasures of life that I use to take for granted.

3. I live every day as it is the last day of my life.

4. I am more knowledgeable and informative about medicine, health and my rights as a patient.

5. I no longer feel I have to go to only female doctors rather I choose doctors based on there credentials.

6. I see how online ratings are manipulated as doctors make patients enter there own ratings . A positive rating will appear as soon as true ratings are put on site.

7. I can now guide my friends to choose good care providers even for low risk normal pregnancies.

8. This blog, I have always wanted to write but never was able to. The frustration of not getting information from anywhere made me put my feelings in writing.

9. I am a better person, more compassionate, more strong and more virtous. I have experience death too closely and survived it. I can take any and all life challenges.
