JamesH - why is a report only credible if it follows the current journalistic fashion of personalising the story through the provision of a few case histories?

billie,

this author is suppose to be a university lecturer. The above article is not of the quality one would expect from a university lecturer.

Secondly she introduces other characters in this article in a fashion similarly used by fire and brimestone preachers.

<some cases barely indirectly caused the death of very close to 500 Australian women>

I do not find it credible to think that if this doctor did the above, he would have been allowed to continue to practice, let alone not be gaoled.

If he did contribute the deaths of 500 women, it would mean, he is perhaps the biggest mass murderer in the world.

The media journalists also at times will employ similar techniques designed to get the viewers on their side. Using an emotional hook, that bypass rational. logical thinking. In other words suckering people.
