I understand what you are saying, but from the "other side", please stay. The
hospitals around here are so awful yet, and moms need every good professional
they can get on "the inside".  Imagine how much worse for moms and babies it
would be if you weren't there... even little changes, and the priceless
support they get, even under circumstances that should not always occur, are
so important! Thanks for allt the work that hospital-based LCs do. Too bad
all LCs can't be considered not "hospital - or home- based but instead just
MomNBaby- based...
