I intubated a 450 gram neonate once....

I can't recall if a boy or a girl...but they lived.

Back then...that was about the smallest..that we could treat.

About 24-25 week gestation...was the limit..on us helping.

I'd guess things are different now.

I dunno...don't work in a Neo anymore...

It also said Einstein was very low birth weight and people thought he would be retarded.

He may not have been retarded but he was autistic...a serious brain disorder.

Maybe, maybe not. Isaac Newton had indications, also.
