I rented a pump tonight to one of the secretaries in Dr Ed Newton's office.
She is determined to be successful at BFing and has found my help to be
valuable and is very complementary. I told her to point out to Dr Newton this
is why the hospital needs an IBCLC on staff!!!
Anyway, she asked if I would take the coupon for the $10 off a pump purchase
that came with that cute little bag from the hospital. I explained the Code
and why the bag and coupon violated the Code and no I couldn't give her $10
off the price because those coupons did not come from the pump rental company
or from me. She was appalled when I explained some of the politics behind the
discharge packs, marketing of ABM, etc.  She wanted to know why something
isn't being done to stop this unethical behavior.
Interesting question???
 I told her she may want to write a letter to the hospital CEO and copy it to
the Board of Directors with a copy of the Code and ask them why they are
participating  in behaviors which are in violation of this Code.
She said I certainly knew alot more about BFing  then those nurses at the
hospital!!!
I needed that!
