I don't want to dwell on this issue, however I wanted to thank those who
responded to my post about a pediatrician restricting LC practice in one
facility, and to let you know that I did try some of the routes suggested.
The issue was brought to the attention of the Chief Nursing Executive at the
hospital, the Chief Operating Officer, the chief of Peds and Chief of OB
with the LC providing numerous references and evidence for her practice.
Several mothers complained and wrote letters. Even so, the physician was
supported in this situation.

A complaint was also filed under the Disruptive Physician Policy due to some
unfortunate outbursts and untrue accusations that were made by the
physician.  This is handled by the Chief of Medical Staff; my complaint has
not been responded to yet. I also made several inquiries to the local AAP
and the local medical board, considering filing an official complaint. Based
on their responses, it appeared to me to be fruitless to pursue this, so I
did not.
