Sincerely, Pat > in SNJ Patricia: I have fortunately have landed in a community where the LLL is marvelous,and I believe, well respected. I agree with you that "magic initials" do not always carry the punch they should. I still remember the lecture in midwifery school 10 years ago by an IBCLC that WOWED me about how much I didn't know about BF and gave me the burning desire to become one of the "elite"(as far as I was concerned). I have always presumed that all HCPs felt the same way. It is becoming more apparent that is not so. It is indeed a long road to walk. Bari College Station, TX
