Winnie... I am the author of the quote. I apologize. I should have added after the quote that I was being more sarcastic than anything else. Truly, I see the beauty of NRP and realize its value in the health care setting. Of course there will always be the need for resusciation. And just so you know, I actually am trying to gear my future towards a path that educates women on the dangers of many unnecessary birth interventions! You are right... they are no dummies! They definitely have a captive audience. In the weeks prior to my NRP recert, as I studied and viewed that DVD-ROM numerous times, I remember being irritated each and every time I turned it on, seeing the company's name and logo. I didn't have a choice. And I'm with you... you won't convince me either that they are doing this out of kindness! Thanks for your thoughts!
