In reply to Valerie's quote, which follows:
http://www.annalsorg/cgi/content/full/136/5/403
"Given the rapid pace of technological developments and therapeutic
advancements in medicine and biotechnology, both students and
practicing
physicians
rely on education providers and professional societies for objective,
up-to-date
health care information. Commercially sponsored information offered in
such
settings can be biased in favor of manufacturers and has the potential
to
unduly
affect the independent judgment of medical professionals (2-5)."
Kathy Eng wrote a short review of an appearance for Hollister where she
was
impressed by the presenter's ethics. Are you implying that any
presentation
by any LC who is paid by a pump company is inherently unethical? That
is
certainly not what this quote says.
I consider that Nancy Mohrbacher has inherent credibility because of
her
work on the Breastfeeding Answer Book, her experience as a private
practice
lactation consultant and her clear, focused explanations of how she
approaches her work.
Let's close the book on personal attacks. There aren't enough
breastfeeding
protectors, promoters and supporters for us to be accusing each other,
and
alienating each other. We need to collaborate, not defend against
attacks
(from each other, a real indignity).
