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....
