Thank-you Beth and Pat.  This situation has been eye-opening.  It seems that I need to know the names of the good breast surgeons in our area and not count on the HCPs to refer on to a specialist.

What do others do in such a case?  When do you step between a mom and her physician and recommend a specialist?  Or do you?  If the breast is outside of the OB's expertise, is it others' experience that the OB's do the referrals?

When I was lactating, I had a galactocele.  My OB did the needle aspiration to determine if it was indeed milk in the cyst.  Would this be considered outside his scope of practice?

I think I need a class in what each HCP can be expected to know so that this does not happen again.
