...weekly meeting last night. Councillor Marjorie C. Decker introduced a proposition requesting a “dollar-to-dollar review” of the funding that the Council provides to CHA, citing CHA’s lack of formal accountability to the Council and its recent decision to remove obstetrician-gynecologist services from three of its 12 neighborhood clinics. The Council approved Decker’s measure with an amendment requiring the city manager to clarify the Council’s arrangement with CHA. Founded in 1996 from a merger between the city-owned hospitals of Cambridge and Somerville...

That comment doesn't come from a jaded, overpaid male obstetrician, but from Manju Chhugani, a female lecturer at New Delhi's Jamia Hamdard faculty of nursing, the secretary of the local chapter of the Society of Midwives, and a healthcare professional who has organized seminars on natural childbirth...

She left her son Aiden, now 20 months, intact--though she says her spouse remains leery of the decision: "He's kind of like, 'Well...
...Politics might be rock 'n' roll for nerds, but the nerds aren't supposed to be quite this nerdy. The leader of the disaffected in next year's presidential election - the Howard Dean, the Ross Perot, the Pat Buchanan - is a kindly great-grandfather and obstetrician whose passion is monetary policy. Paul, a 72-year-old hard-core libertarian Republican Congressman who is against foreign intervention, subsidies and the federal income tax, is not only drawing impressive crowds (more than 2,000 at a post-debate rally at the University of Michigan last month) but also raising tons of cash...
