I would suggest contacting the clinic manager of the pediatric group
that treated the 9 women who were upset with their lactation management.
The pediatricians would likely value your feedback and suggestions on
improving their management. I think you could forge a healthy
relationship with the pediatric group, so that you are caring for women
as a team, and you no longer are an emergency worker.>>>>
Thank you for this reply and I agree, this is exactly right and an
excellent suggestion, ...and yes, most peds would welcome and appreciate, and this
is exactly what any dedicated LC with *ample time and energy* would do/does
do.
An LC in most locations in the US could do this all day all week, educate
fellow healthcare providers in hospitals and in communities whom have caused
their clients problems that lead to more problems. After a few or several
years it can become too frustrating and exhausting. LCs in private practice
trying to make a living or just break even may find it just too
time-consuming in spite of the potential longer-term benefit of developing a great
relationship with the peds practice.
I hope Susan can find a way to manage this shell shock, which can seem
relentless at times or thank-fully just intermittent, before burnout sets in.
Suggestion for an conference session: Lactation Shell Shock: prevention and
treatment, acute and long-term, how to cope, how to survive.
