Can relate to this. Some people, never mind midwives, are horrible. Have to take the rough with the smooth in my opinion however rudeness and bullying should never be tolerated. How it is dealt with is another matter. A member of my cohort discussed 'in confidence', an issue with another midwife. She wished she had kept quiet. It seems that in most cases, there is no 'confidentiality regarding these things... if one person knows then you can bet your life, most others do to. Id say keep your head down, do your job to the best of your ability, earn your 'stripes' and shut up!! sad but true.
