Stacey,

What a heart rending mailing about your awful experience with aspiration to
your newborn baby.  I expect there were some tears when you wrote that to
us.......

What might be helpful to you is to copy chunks of that posting inserted into a
letter and send it to the hospital manager with copies to the senior staff on
the labour and postnatal departments.  Keep the letter simple and to the
point.  After composing the letter, sit on it for a day or so, re-read it,
refine it, if needs be and then put it past the eyes of a trusted and
supportive LLL pal or anyone else that is there for you when you need and then
send it off after making a good photocopy of it for your file or further use.
It helps to gather the correct ititials, names and titles of these senior
people in the hospital so that the letter is properly addressed and can't be
shuffled around the hospital.  The more people that have a copy within the
heirarchy the better the result.

kind regards,
