Had a pretty quiet week at work. Started with a couple of days of fertility, then some gynae day surgery and outpatients, all mixed in with teaching. Plenty things the same and plenty different. Fertility treatment was fairly similar, a few of the drug names were different. However, what really astounded me was that, unlike the UK, it is possible to get pubically funded IVF if you and/or your partner already have children. Then the wait for publically funded IVF is only 7 months compared to the 3-4 years in the UK. In teaching I also discovered that all deliveries past 20 weeks gestation must be registered. Therefore any terminations between 20 and 24 weeks (the legal limit) are registered (as still births) and consequently New Zealand's still birth rate is huge compare to the Uk where both cut offs are 24 weeks.
Otherwise a good week and am ready for a break at the weekend.

I cannot believe you went all the way to Cape Reinga and did not mention passing through Dargaville the nerve centre of Northland with the celebrated McCracken memorial erected by its grateful citizens in honour of the famous physician who worked there in the eighties. Also you pillock the most important thing about Kauri trees is the gum which generations of mad Dalmatians earned their living from.ps not dogs just another tribe of eccentric East Europeans with a love for cherry vodka.You no doubt will have heard by now about the improvements that have been carried out at Glasgow Airport
Not agood week for Ma and Pa Khan and the weans from the Govan takeaway to be flying out to see the relatives in Karachi. Security levels remain high in Milnathort and the police have purchased an extra bike to combat the increased global terrorist threat
