<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:"Crimson Text",serif;font-size:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><strong>Dr. Pritchard and Dr. Zeni on journeying with women through pregnancy.</strong></p>
<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:"Crimson Text",serif;font-size:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Dr. Jane Pritchard is a family medicine physician in Toronto but has worked around the world. <br>
<br>
"I went to Australia for two years, and stayed for 12 years, working in the ER and doing locums for GPs in Australia's private health care system. In 1980, I went to Bangladesh for three years with Mennonite Central Committee and learned about the social determinants of health. When Michael, who was born there, was four months old, I started working in the non-gyne medical outpatient department of a Hindu charity hospital, where I saw firsthand the medical consequences of poverty and injustice, most concentrated, it seemed, on women and their girl children. <br>
<br>
We moved, now with my son Paul, to Toronto in 1987, and I found an opportunity to work with Latin American refugees arriving from war-torn El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and later Colombia. I listened to their stories and learned a lot. Those who came then as children are still my patients today, with children of their own. So I was doing family practice in an urban setting, but with a very special group of people; who had experienced much trauma, and overcame many obstacles, but the memories are always with them.<br>
<br>
At the same time, I started to work with marginally housed or homeless people in Toronto, at a drop in centre for women downtown. I have listened to the stories of many indigenous women over those 30+ years, and tried to help them manage the bodily diseases that come from being torn from home and family at an early age and subjected to much abuse.<strong>The reward is in gaining a measure of trust. The cost is losing too many too soon</strong>."<br>
</p>
<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:"Crimson Text",serif;font-size:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Dr. Deborah Zeni is a family physician in Georgetown, Ontario and so much more. "I am a friend, a mother to 4 wonderful men, a Nonna for 6 grandchildren, a theologian, an educator and a preacher who believes that love truly does make the world go round.<br>
<br>
I share a family practice with Dr. Paul Zeni - my husband of 44 years. We are part of a Family Health Team and a Family Health Organization. We provide medical care for all ages from cradle to grave - including prenatal care and palliative care. <span style="font-family:"Crimson Text",serif;font-size:16px;text-align:center;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Currently, <strong>my practice has an above average number of women who have experienced trauma or considerable hardship</strong>. Many have been referred into our practice by other physicians.</span><br>
<br>
This past June I took what I believe is the last of many hair-raising, stomach churning lights and sirens trips that I have taken with a critically ill child from Georgetown to the Hospital for Sick Children. I'm leaving the heroic adrenaline surging saving of lives of children to younger physicians. For many of the same reasons I will be 'giving up' what has been a wonderful part of my career - caring for pregnant women and attending the births of their babies."</p>

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:"Crimson Text",serif;font-size:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br>
This is a lecture on sharing wisdom, experience, and knowledge. A lecture in which two doctors will come together to share all they have learned over their careers and the insights they can share with the next generation. It will provide a true glimpse into family medicine and pregnancy care. "<strong>Frankly,</strong> <strong>I often feel I am out of my comfort zone</strong>," explained Dr. Pritchard, "Though that is often what family practice is like!"</p>
<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:"Crimson Text",serif;font-size:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Dr. Zeni describes practicing medicine as a "<strong>lifetime privilege and enjoyment</strong>" and one she is not ready to walk away from quite yet. "Remember the adage: practice makes perfect. I'm nowhere near a 'perfect' doctor, so I need to continue to practice."<br>
