Laura Gomez: 我讲述了多米尼加共和国第一位女医生 Evangelina Rodriguez-Peroso 的故事,她致力于为贫困母亲和儿童提供医疗服务,并积极倡导计划生育,挑战了当时的社会规范。她为贫困母亲提供其他人不愿提供的帮助,是该国早期计划生育的倡导者,她的行为有时会让她与当权者发生冲突。 April Mays: Evangelina 回国后,立即着手建立妇产医院并为贫困儿童提供牛奶,展现了她远大的理想和抱负。她希望将她在巴黎学到的疾病预防、避孕和孕产妇及婴儿护理知识带回祖国,为所有女性提供安全和支持,而不仅仅是富裕的城市居民。 Mercedes Fernandez: Evangelina 通过行医为社会做出了贡献,并从中获得了幸福感,她将自己视为病人的母亲。她回国后,支持帮助性工作者,教育她们,并给予她们如何照顾自己、如何不传播性病,特别是如何避免意外怀孕的建议。 Claudia Scharf: Evangelina 发起了“牛奶一滴”计划,为贫困婴儿提供免费牛奶,以预防营养不良。当时的卫生保健,特别是预防措施,还处于起步阶段,许多人缺乏这方面的知识。Evangelina 严格监督牛奶巴氏消毒过程,避免婴儿因饮用受污染的牛奶而死亡。 Elizabeth Manley: Evangelina 为性工作者提供医疗服务,这在当时社会中非常罕见,甚至与她交往的人也会受到负面影响。她改变了对性工作者的看法,并主动为她们提供医疗护理和避孕措施。 Celisette: Evangelina 在家中同时开展诊疗和牛奶分发工作,并亲自监督牛奶的巴氏消毒过程。Evangelina 向多子女家庭宣传计划生育的好处,并提供避孕措施。 Francisco Comarasami: Evangelina 开始从事社会工作后,她的穿着打扮变得随意,她认为慷慨比穿着华丽更重要。

Shownotes Transcript

Evangelina got a warm welcome on her return from Paris and went straight to work, introducing her new ideas about healthcare for women and children. She set up a new medical practice, and managed to get farmers to provide free milk for poor infants. But her proselytizing about contraception and her work with prostitutes made even her friends uncomfortable. Her ideas were ahead of her time, and those around her failed to keep up.
