It is  really not good buy in to continually view physicians as the   enemy.  
So many posts with inept being the prime adjective to  describe a physician.  
Makes me wonder if some of that reflects in  attitude when one  is speaking 
to 
the "enemy."  


Dear Dr. Poinsett,
What a wonderful and eloquent post you made.  The sentences that I  copied to 
this email says it all: we need to see physicians and other health  care 
providers as team members.  If there is any hint that we are annoyed  or upset 
with their positions or work, this does show through.  
I think it is healthy to disagree with someone, it is how we do it.  I  do 
believe that the bottom line for everyone is the same: a healthy mom and  baby.  
How we define that and get to that point is very different and  certainly we 
all have observed this.  
As LCs we need to build trust and relationships, not only with the mothers  
and family but also the rest of the health team involved.
This is where I think the SOP should be designed toward, a healthy working  
relationship that is based on evidence.
Burning bridges will not help us in the future.
