Hi Anne,

Thanks for responding...I understand your rationale of professional
courtesy...however, I would think that it would be a reciprocal thing
between health care professionals..and it does not seem to be. They woulod
be free to give IBCLCs or Nurses a discount as a gesture of friendship, esp,
to hopefully get referrals, etc.

The door swings both way, but not here in Vermont....
