The Saga of Michael Klein: A Poem in Praise of a Pristine Perineum

This study of perineal trauma’s a snap. “The Saga of Michael Klein” concludes with a clear message: Never give up on your cause if the research is true and good can come of it. Klein’s quest is one of many that healthcare providers and birth advocates have completed to make birth healthier and safer for all women. No matter if you are a doctor, midwife, nurse, pregnant woman, or just someone who cares about childbirth, “The Saga of Michael Klein” encourages you to laugh – and to carry the hope of bettering birth. Ed. note: You can view the full poem in Family Medicine journal (October 2012), along with a complete bibliography. —————————– Allison Saran is a senior at Brandeis University, majoring in anthropology and public health.
