I've had some good experience with advocates. One particular lady who was an
Infant Consultant with Infant Development here in our community. Also there
was one maybe even more nurses who stood up to the pediatrician in our
daughters defence. Also at Children's Hospital there was one particular nurse
who was totally caring, encouraging and supportive and could not believe what
the Neonantologist was so dismal. So defintely we had some good experiences.
