Does anyone have experience with a patient having a VQ scan and breastfeeding.  This mom was readmitted to the ED with question of a pulmonary embolism.
 There is some documentation from Hale about halting breastfeeding for
2 days and others say mom can have no contact after exposure to  99mTc
MAA.  What do you recommend?  Does mom have to pump and dump?  Does she
have to avoid contact with the baby?  Thank you.

If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers' needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market.  The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically.  Women have been producing such a miraculous substance,breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence.  ~Gabrielle Palmer
