I feel that "The Doctors" is the prefect place to inform the public of new CDC & JACHO Breastfeeding guidelines coming in April of 2010. Also the fact that WIC is decreasing the amount of formula they will be providing a family each month.
Each state has Breastfeeding Coalitions to help promote & educate about breastfeeding. I had never heard of them until I was asked to be apart of one in my county. Governor Daniels has mandated that each county in Indiana have a BFcoalition. He has made BF part of his "In Shape" program.
I have had a passion about BF for 32yrs. Until now the only help I knew of was LaLeche League. Not to mention the law stating that work places have to provide a BF Mom who returns to work, a BF area for her to pump milk.
I work for a group of 5 OB Dr's. They do not mention BF until the post-partum visit. I now have our computer people building a form into our OB program so it will prompt the BF question during an OB visit. They also had no idea what a CLC (Certified lactation Counselor) or an IBCLC (International Breastfeeding Certified Latation Consultant) was. Nor did they care. In my area if a BF Mom calls her Family Dr. for help, she gets refered to her OB Dr. the OB Dr. says they delivered & they are finished with their job. So the poor Mom is left to her own devises, which usulally ends up with her switching to formula. It is so sad that society has made BF so difficult.
I know that Dr. Lisa has touched on the subject. But I feel strongly that the public needs to know about all the help that there is out there, & that the Government is on board with BF now.
The Doctor's show is on in our waiting area every day. I loved Dr. Lisa's Colpo show. If the public only knew how prevalent dysplasia & HPV is, it would boggle their minds. So now I can only pray that you will provide the same good information about the new CDC guidlines on Breastfeeding & the help that is available.
Thanks-You so much for such a great public service type show!! I love it!

Have different people talk about experiences at hospitols and then see if that hospitol deserves its star rating. I went to many hospitols and have experinced unreasonable ratings.Many hospitols are rated very high for there technology and building but that doesnt mean they always know what to do when an unheard of illness like melkersson comes along unlike the understar oldschool hospitols who can figure it out.

Please pray for my Collie Mix, Tigger, who is in the doggie hospital right now. We adopted him at a doggie homeless shelter where he'd lived in a cage a year. Prior to us adopting Tiggs he'd been returned twice. Once since "too bossy" (he's a herding dog) & once since too big ...

Please pray for my Collie Mix, Tigger, who is in the doggie hospital right now. We adopted him at a doggie homeless shelter where he'd lived in a cage a year. Prior to us adopting Tiggs he'd been returned twice. Once since "too bossy" (he's a herding dog) & once since too big of a bark (locked in shed). He does levitate when he barks & he did herd my two Irish Setters yet we have issues too so a perfect fit. Cyndee & D.C. Irish Setters have passed away now at age 13 & 10.

I was a weekend receptionist at a no kill shelter & literally brought my work home with me bringing Tiggs home Saturday night to enjoy backyard each weekend. Then fostered him when when shelter manager gave puppies his run. My first male dog and a sweety pie. Who knew? I do now.

Some think adverse reaction rimadyl Tigger began after he & Lynn were attacked by two 80+ pound Golden Retrievers on a walk or fungal infection from bite attacked spleen. As well has bowel illeus.

Although, all symptoms are that of adverse reaction to rimadyl. We go for consult & to visit Tigger at 3:30 p.m. today. Tiggs was the picture of health before Golden Retrievers knocked Lynn down from behind and began attacking & biting Tigger and Tigger began rimadyl. Still was going on walks until rimadyl may have zapped his spleen or fungus from dog bites. Or rimadyl exacerbated.

When we left Tiggs at doggie hospital, since resembles shelter he lived in a year, he hung his head as if "OMG(osh)! I can't believe after living there for years they're returning me too." First night he ever spent away from home since we adopted him years ago was at doggie ER, January 3rd to 4th. Then the next day went to internist (next to ER) & was admitted for sonogram etc. Unusual place where by day other vets share building then by night a doggie ER.

In Tigger's honor I'm beginning B.I.T.E.S. (Be Informed Tigger Encourages Seniors): rimadyl bites. People don't think about adverse reactions to medications in dogs yet I've learned in a vet FDA 1997/1998 study that almost 5,000 dogs had adverse reaction to rimadyl and 651 died. Notation was made that many more dogs may have died that didn't go to vet for diagnosis. Please pray Tiggs won't die. Thank you.

So prayers, please, that Tigger gets lots of pets & hugs & on top of being sick doesn't think we orphaned him like he was returned by first two persons who adopted him and returned him. ALSO, PRAYERS FOR A COMPLETE RECOVERY. Thank you for any and all prayers.

Sincerely,
Tigger's adoptive mommy

I was living the single lifestyle and also eating unhealthy, w hen I found out I had colon cancer. I refused to take the diagnosis as a death sentence. Instead, I chose to find doctors who could offer me a better prognosis and medical treatment that would save my sphincter muscle. In search of the right doctors, I walked the halls of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center until I found a colon specialist. In surgery, 18 inches of my colon was removed, and my sphincter muscle was saved, which restored my hope for a normal life.

I became one of the lucky ones, a cancer survivor. Now, my wife makes sure I exercise and eat healthy. She cut out the fried foods and makes me eat lots of vegetables.
(smile)

While walking the halls of the Medical Center, as part of my recovery regimen, I saw children experiencing cancer in many ways. This experience changed my life forever. Seeing some kids alone during their cancer battles inspired me to start the Lifedriven Foundation. Now, my wife and I inspire kids to believe that miracles do come true by taking them and their families to Disneyland.

To be a part of this experience, putting smiles on faces and positive memories in the hearts and minds of amazing, brave children, inspiring them during their cancer battles, to believe that miracles do come true, is a beautiful thing. It gave my cancer battle purpose and helped me understand how my life has changed for the better.

I would like to share this story with America to grant Lifedriven Miracles experiences to children with cancer nationally.

With bill proposals that are over 1000 pages long, and billions of dollars being spent on lobbying by the the private industries such as insurance and pharmaceutical companies, how can the general public know what to support and what to protest. A show, no with no agenda for either democratic or republican or the AMA etc. that is "just the facts" about health care legislation could change the country and save a lot of lives. Please consider something like this, time is running out., I am tired of seeing patients who have lost their businesses and homes because of health care costs.
