I was approached by a very aggressive elderly gentleman rep also.  I
explained to him that it is our policy to only see reps by appointment and I further
explained we did not do business with any company that has any ties with
formula.  He was very pushy when I said I am sorry but no thank you.  We have had 3
messages so far on our Lactation Line at the hospital regarding the survey.
Today I suspect message number 4 will be there.  (We have 4 LCs)  This rep was
very persistent but no match for a LC!  He showed up at our hospital 3 times.
After the first time I realized who he was and I refused to even see him when
I was paged.  He didn't have an appointment and I followed our policy.  I
wish I could say everyone did that with the formula reps.  I will say it is much
better than it has ever been.
