Oops----I meant bear with me. Dr. Jack caught my faux pas. I plead exhaustion and the fact that my head is in the clouds since the birth of my niece---the second within a month. :) Thanks for the suggestions. The overwhelming response was having a home health care nurse come out to the mom. I think the lack of manpower would be an issue. Keep in mind the foremost mission of the military hospital is to take care of the active duty member (specifically male soldier). Dependents come after. Women's health care is not a priority even with women now in the military. I will bring this up with someone I know at the hospital. Maybe she can help to encourage some changes.
