Yes! I have had patients say strange things to other LC's about what
I've told them and I've also heard things from patients that I KNOW
can't be true. Remember...moms are vulnerable. When breastfeeding goes
down to defeat or, just doesn't go well, there is a grieving process.
Some women will have a tendency to look for someone to blame.

I am always careful about jumping to conclusions about what an LC (or
MD) may have said. If something seems "way out" it can be helpful to go
back to the person who allegedly said it (with the patient's permission,
of course). I just ask "would you mind if I called her about that...to
see what she really meant?"
