Greetings Jerry,

On behalf of the group I welcome you! I was wondering several things.
First what has your training as a DEM been? Are you certified? How
long have you been practicing? Do you practice in hospitals? I
thought I have heard that in Calf. Midwives are regulated and
licensed, does that permit you to practice in a hospital? And do you
live in Mexico or Calf. ? Do you practice in both places? What is
your fee structure like for those who live south of the border? Do
you take chickens as payments for services (LOL ** Joke)?

Peace,
Have a Blessed Day,
Jami
