Winnie... I am the author of the quote.  I apologize.  I should have added
after the quote that I was being more sarcastic than anything else.  Truly,
I see the beauty of NRP and realize its value in the health care setting.
Of course there will always be the need for resusciation.  And just so you
know, I actually am trying to gear my future towards a path that educates
women on the dangers of many unnecessary birth interventions!

You are right... they are no dummies!  They definitely have a captive
audience.  In the weeks prior to my NRP recert, as I studied and viewed that
DVD-ROM numerous times, I remember being irritated each and every time I
turned it on, seeing the company's name and logo.  I didn't have a choice.
And I'm with you... you won't convince me either that they are doing this
out of kindness!

Thanks for your thoughts!
