It's a corporate compliance issue in addition to a BFHI issue.  

Hospitals do not give out samples of medication or supplements in any other unit.  The reason?  Tracking the lot #'s and expiration dates...in the event of a recall would be impossible.  The hospital I currently work for is does not allow sample drugs to be given even in the clinic setting, for this very reason.  

It's also unfair marketing.  I tell our nursing staff if they're going to work for a formula company...they should demand to be paid.  Because that's how they're being used.
