<< If we had fewer power struggles in medicine and more of a team approach,
 imagine what we could accomplish! To achieve this, WE have to stop being
 afraid to assert ourselves and to clearly communicate that we know what we
are
 doing. And THEY have to admit that they don't know everything and that its OK
 for a non-doctor to help them help their clients. For breastfeeding to truly
 become the societal norm, WE is ultimately going to have to include all of
us:
 docs, LCs, PTs, OTs, nurses, peer counselors, etc. >>


BRAVO. I am sitting here clapping wildly!!
