Judy: I think that we could go on for days with stories of mis-information given out by non-lc's but we would have to change the subject heading ! also we would all suffer bp problems. I appreciated that I could vent and the support given... I have not talked to this mom this weekend...I have also received good information of ways to approach her. Her phsician was not pleased that she came to me...another story. Undoubtedly, it boils down to education of the public and consumer pressure and demand...easier said then done... patricia
