driving home during rush hour traffic following a lengthy home visit today, i
was moved to reflect on the holiday tomorrow. thanksgiving day in the usa is
supposedly a harvest festival, which means it is as least a month late. i
began to think how lucky it is that there are so many LCs in the hospitals
now, because i am getting the most complex and interesting cases because of
their actions. now, i know quite well that not one single person that reads
lactnet would do this terrible deed, so i am hoping all of you will help me
spread my thanksgiving message around to those unfortunate people not yet in
the know about everything.

here's my thought: i will be hunting down and severely browbeating every
single person who teaches a mother to "help" her baby to latch on by pulling
down vigorously on the baby's chin, and forcing the baby's mouth open with a
finger.

that's all. revenge fantasy over, you may resume your previous activities.

hey, everybody enjoy the feast tomorrow, and if you don't have enough to eat
at your house, come on over to mine.
