Fatma M., 48
gynecologist

Fatma Michels (born 1970) has been running her own gynecological practice in Dortmund for five years. She devotes a lot of time for each consultation with a patient, on average half an hour for a first-time prescription of the pill. In addition to this, she also informs about stopping to take the pill. (Informative) Consultations, in contrast to other examinations, are not paid, which is why many gynecologists save time in this matter.

Because Fatma Michels does not visit further education courses financed by pharmaceutical companies, she participates in private meetings with other gynecologists, so called “quality circles”. She is also member of “Mein Essen zahle ich selbst” (“I pay for my food myself”) by the “Initiative of incorruptible doctors”. She receives unsolicited promotional brochures although she does not welcome pharmaceutical representatives any more.
