M Yeah I think so
M Um I don't know I'm not sure about it
S I hope you do
Maybe maybe because some parents
M Yeah
some some mothers think that it's safer
Yeah
Phase 4
S Right
S OK Let's cr let's get back to thinking a
M That doctors know more about delivering
little bit about cr your future Er we know
baby because er the midwife er they're
that you want to er to study Medicine but
not very educated it's just that they
er have you any thoughts about what sort
gain experience Yeah
of Medicine you're going to specialize m
S I see So they don't have a long training
7
at the end of your studies
7
M Oh yeah Yeah Yeah
M Um Let me think I haven't decided yet
S So do you agree with that view
7
Do you
Yeah But I have something in my mind I
think er doctors do know more about 
7
think 1 want to continue for
M No No I'm not agree with that yeah er I
gynaecologist yeah
think midwives are sometimes are better
S Right
than doctors Yeah
M
but some friends yeah my friends
S It's difficult to generalize, isn't it
7
sometimes yeah my friend told me
M Yeah
that it's quite difficult for women
S So do you think there's a a big need for er
because Gynaecology's obstetrician, is it
doctors who are specialists in infant care
see I'm not very sure but yeah So
or delivering babies in er Malaysia
7
Is
um because it's quite pressure for
that a growing area of need
7
woman and stressful I think because
M Yeah It's a growing area Yeah
sometimes woman is not very good in
S Is is there a a fast growing population in
handling pressure situation yeah I
Malaysia do you know
7
think I
M Um You mean um growth of population
7
S Oh right Do you agree with that
7
S Yeah
M Yeah Er m my case 1 think I agree
M YeahWeha\c yeah Quite fast The
because yeah my friends some of
growth of population right yeah The rate
them are cool enough to handle the
of what you call that the rate of birth
7
situation but I don't think I can do it
S The birth rate
S What sort of pressure do you imagine er
M Yeah the birth rrte is going up Yeah
er it would involve
7
S Aha So it could be a \ try important area
M Because I don't know much about this
for your country if you choose that'
field actually Um well 1 know 'cos I
M Yes Yes Yes Nowadays Yes
watched a movie about this obstetrician
S Well, perhaps at the end of your studies
and she this person this doctor and
you'll be more confident betause >ou II
she's she's going to deliver a baby So it's
have learnt so muih more' Is that
quite stressful I can see the situation
possible do you think
7
so pathic er panic so sometimes I
M Yeah I hope so 1 hope to g.un nu>a
think that 1 cannot handle it so but I
confident That's wh) Icomelun.
wish 1 can 'cos it's a woman's job 1
think to to deliver a baby Yeah
Phase 5
S Well I was going to say that er er in some
S Well I'd like to thank you Maria for i r
ways one could argue that maybe it's er
taking part er 1.1 the inters lew and u ish
more suited to er a woman than a man
