Michael Pawson congratulates himself on having advised women seeking to conceive to give up their high-powered jobs (12 April, p 32).
I know someone who was so advised, and gave up her job but didn’t become pregnant. She merely had plenty of time to dwell on her grief, and not enough else to give meaning and purpose to her life. How many other such cases are there? Doctors should be careful when interfering in the lives of their patients without scientific support for their recommendations.
