Carla, You stated well my reactions to the comment about the necessity to be evidence based and not self-disclose. To me, the two practices are not mutually exclusive. It isn't hard to distinguish between the two when talking to women. I think that they listen better and remember information more if you tell them the facts and then tell a personal story or a story of "another patient here...." that supports the facts you just stated. -Lucy Towbin, MSW, IBCLC *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
