For centuries, a “gossip” was a woman who attended another woman's delivery. The word was a corruption of “god-sib” or “god-sibling,” meaning “sister in the Lord.” The gossips offered support to mother & midwife. Only later did it become derogatory.

For years Twitter was so helpful, putting me in contact with anaesthetists around the world, many of whom became wonderful allies.
