Pat,
My guess about the abx treatment is that maybe the institution or the
Ob has had an experience when the baby developed an overwhelming strep
sepsis. I work at a hospital with a very high delivery rate (9672 last
year). We have had a few deaths (2or3 in my 22 years there) and
probably some babies with bad sequelae. If I were the doc all it would
take is one of those to always treat.
I also agree with you and Kim that we should include our country in
the signature. Is there more than one Milwaukee in the world?
