Vilma Wong, who had been working at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford for more than 32 years, met Brandon Seminatore, 28, in August. Seminatore, a second-year pediatric resident completing a child neurology residency at Stanford University, had joined Wong’s team, according to the statement from Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital.
“I asked who he was and his name, and last name sounded very familiar,” Wong said in the statement. “I kept asking where he was from, and he told me that he was from San Jose, California, and that, as a matter of fact, he was a premature baby born at our hospital.”
Wong’s curiosity grew, so at one point she just asked Seminatore.
“I asked him if his dad was a police officer,” she said. “And there was a big silence, and then he asked me if I was Vilma, I said yes.”

Cool story.
Poor baby sure lost his hair early
Thanks! This balances out your other post about the dog - which I’m not even going to read. :(
Sorry, that was mean. Now please excuse me, I have to search the area for hairs that have been falling out of my head.
This is the kind of story, and there’s always many, that makes a nurse’s hard daily work all worth it.
That’s a cool story. I worked as a medical technician in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a local hospital about 40 years ago. I work for the same hospital now in a different capacity, and my daughter is a nurse in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in the same hospital. I often wonder about some of those babies and how they’re doing. And it’s very gratifying to me that my daughter has taken it to another level.
Splendid story. Kinda makes me think humans can be OK after all. L’CHaim!
No kidding. My daughter is his age and when I look at baby pictures with her mom, I miss my wife’s BIG hair. It was so 1990.
Of course, I had more hair and less waist back then too.
Best to lose your hair early, before you are worrying about getting old.
I feel for all the guys who start losing it at 40, with their ridiculous comb-overs and plug transplants, all to fend off the ravages of time.
I’m there... 48 and getting a little thin in the back on the top. I’m going to own it though. No monk look for me. I’m just going to shave it bald and keep my beard. Maybe I’ll look a little more badass?
