I think it would make communication easier on Lactnet if whenever you used 
an abbreviation in a post, you defined it the first time you use it in that 
post.  I know some of the medical abbreviations are very obvious to those of 
you who work in a hospital and use them daily, but even after 16 years in 
lactation, I have never worked in a hospital and many of those abbreviations 
are very difficult for me to figure out.  I can imagine it's much worse for 
the many Lactnetters who speak English as a second language.  Have mercy on 
us, folks!

Thanks --
