Thank you~ I totally agree. While I personally have no
problem with
reporting, I did go on to say that we need to remember the
word International.
Thank you so much for the example of just how this could
be a problem.
I do actually ask about lochia flow and healing after
surgery, I just do not
'inspect' or diagnose infection. If the answers lead me to
consider
retained placenta or infection, I refer them to their hcp.
But, again, you are
right, the knowing is important and does have the potential
to impact
breastfeeding.
Thank you so much for your thoughts. I am very concerned
that the future of
IBCLCs as they are today are being threatened. I do not for
one minute
believe that the level of intelligence sitting on the BOD
did not know exactly
what they were doing. They may not have expected the outcry
and dissent, but
they are very intelligent professional persons and they
indeed knew exactly
what the wording would mean for every single non medical
private practicing
IBCLC in the USA. And, now, from the posts of our members
from other countries,
we can see the impact on the international level is also
very real.
I think this needs to be rescinded immediately. When they
have worked out
the problems, they can put it back out, but as it stands
now, we in the
private practice community are not able to practice in the
best interest of our
clients, and sorry, but the clients come first. We need to
be protecting mothers
and babies and breastfeeding. That is who we are and what
we do. It needs
to be the ultimate focus of our scope of practice and in all
things, it needs
to be paramount.
Best,
Pam MazzellaDiBosco, IBCLC, RLC
