I totally agree that we need to try to reach medical and nursing students
in the schools - and add don't forget the pharmacists!  Here they are
consulted like a neighborhood "friend" (just like the next-door-neighbor
nurse) and have been misinforming moms on the use of over the counter as
well as prescriptions drugs (you don't want your baby to get that  -
meaning the virus or the medicine - so you'd better stop breastfeeding
until you're better...).
