Michelle,            Advance kit

Interesting you should post about the advance kit not having the same
suction pressure.  I just had a mom call earlier today complaining about
how her pump wasn't working.  After talking with her for a while I
started to wonder if the problem wasn't really with the kit.  I hope to
have this figured out soon.


Jeanette,         The moral question


What you are asking is tough.  I have often asked myself the same
question.  I was close to a situation as you described.  I kept
wondering if it were me whose salary was paid by formula co.  could I
live with myself.  I cann't begin to tell you how this situation has
torn me apart.  I am still trying to figure it out.  Is it selling your
soul? or Is it using a bad for a good?  The answer seems simple but how
many LC's are depended on their jobs for various reasons that they tread
softly? One can take the risk/chance to stick their neck out even if it
will get chopped but if others are involved, is it right for that person
to harm others through their action?

Ultimately, I thought that I could not live with myself, therefore, I
would have to let it all go.  Presently, I have a very difficult time
respecting the LC I know who was living with it. However, I can not
judge her because I don't know the price she would have to pay if she
let go of her position.

I hope that there will be more discussion on this because I think that
the wisdom to this will not be apparent to me until I am much much
older.
