Good point, and No.
as the lc, if a mom is upset or crying, and she indicates that she wants me
there, and it "feels right" to do so, i may put my arm around her and give
her a little squeeze, if she leans towards me i hang out there till she is
calm and we can make progress. it does not happen that often and it depends
on the mom.
as for this group of docs that hug all their pts - they are a most popular
group of ob/gyns, many of the staff go to them, they always have a waiting
list of new pts, i do hear moms tell each other in pp groups that they love
their doc and make favorable comments about the hugs.

{{{hug}}} back at ya :-)

maybe this hug is more for the nurse than the pt - the nurse has to inflict
such pain and suffering, *she* feels better to let you leave after a hug?
