Ask and You Shall Receive 1
Remember the Obstetrics & Gynecology editorial on VBAC I wrote about a couple weeks ago?
As of just a few days ago, the online version of the editorial was not available to the public.
Until I wrote this letter:
Dear editorial staff at Obstetrics & Gynecology:
One of my friends recently (and generously) shared a copy of Dr. Scott’s
editorial (“Solving the Vaginal Birth after Cesarean Dilemma”) from the June
2010 issue of your publication. As a doula, birth advocate, and mother who
had to fight hard to have a VBAC, I was heartened, even excited, by what Dr.
Scott wrote in his piece. And as I’ve summarized the editorial to other
friends and fellow VBAC advocates, I’ve found that many others share my
enthusiasm.I was wondering if there was any possibility that you could make the
editorial free to the public. I don’t know what your protocol is for
expanding article availability in this way, but I do think that this piece
in particular would be enormously helpful for women who would like to
facilitate a reasoned and informed discussion about VBAC with their care
providers.Sincerely,
Kristen Oganowski
And received this response yesterday evening:
Dear Ms. Oganowski:
Thank you for your message. We have considered your request. The editorial is now free to the public.
