An everyday miracle

About this book

Insightful and compelling story of leading gynaecologist and obstetrician Jim Dornan's career - a life's work with women at its very heart. Through the stories of the many women for who Jim has been privileged to care, the book documents the changes that have occurred, including the level of medical intervention and the issue of women's choice during birth; the ways that breech babies are delivered; and helping women to deal with the menopause. It also covers the things that never change - the absolute tragedy of a stillborn baby, the vital importance of the very best standards of care, and - of course - the miracle of birth and the beautiful babies that are at the heart of so much of Jim's work.
