How interesting that you mentioned Dr. Denmark! I live in the town she does. At last report, she is fine. I ran into her daughter in a store a couple of years ago. That lady is quite a legend!
I meant to add that my daughter was breast-fed, too. Breastfeeding is so important, even with the crises along the way. La Leche League was my lifeline back in the day.
I googled her, and found a website dedicated to her philosophies. Amazing 111 and still kicking!!!
Once we were visiting friends in south Atlanta, and my son became ill. My friend took all her kids to Dr. Denmark, so we made the trek up to her “office.” She spent 45 minutes with us (appts. were on a first come first served basis) and when I asked her what I owed, she said $10. This was 20 years ago, but still that was an unheard of price for a dr. visit, much less a dr. visit that lasted 45 minutes.
