I think this was me posting about the supplement in pediatrics. However, the
Dr involved appeared to be attempting to educate mothers on the "benefits"
of breastfeeding....totally imappropriate in that situation and also
discharged women with a supply of infant formula...this was post hurricane.

> I agree fully with what Susan said about responding to emergency
situations.  Someone (sorry, I didn't save it so I can't credit
specifically) posted a while back about a doctor in New Orleans who tried to
convince women delivering just before Katrina (when they knew it was coming)
to breastfeed at least until after the situation was over.  The doc was not
able to convince any more to breastfeed with the hurriucaine coming than in
"normal" times.
