hi all,

don't know about the medical community, but when i had my first child
in the 80's the picture in my head whenever i heard LLL was of women
looking like a mixture of joyce carol oates and laura ingalls, sitting
in a rocker in a laura ashley environment.
took me almost 20 years to actually meet my first LLL leaders and so
far i haven't seen anyone who fits the above description...
not even in my own org, AFS ;-)
(maybe i should start wearing dresses and a chignon...)

-- 
Because the Medieval Church, with the support of kings, princes and
secular authorities, controlled medical education and practice, the
Inquisition constitutes, among other things, an early instance of the
"professional" repudiating the skills and interfering with the rights
of the "nonprofessional" to minister to the poor. -Thomas Szasz, The
Manufacture of Madness-
