I used to work in a NICU.....That pic brings back memories....

I worked in a large hospital's ER for many years.We had an OB service and a NICU but,because there was a huge pediatric hospital literally next door,we in the ER never saw kids because the hospital didn't have a pediatric service.

I'm thankful for that because as bad as it is to see a dead 80 year old I know I could never have handled seeing sick kids.But,as I tell my niece (who's a pediatric nurse) "somebody's gotta do it".

The good thing was....95% of time we could fix the babies.

Mostly they were just premature....

They got better...and went home.

Thank God for Survanta.......

I now work in a LTAC.....30% of our patients die there.

FWIW-
