  8. is this lact consultant ethical?

    palesarah replied to moz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That doesn't sound at all ethical. You can't even get "her" patients started pumping with a hospital pump? Who does that benefit, besides this outside LC's pocketbook? I don't like it at all. If it...

    palesarah replied to Kaseyrn2b's topic in Ob/Gyn
