• WBC ≤30 is normal for

it’s nice to have new blood
cuz u get to listen to them
present, see if they can hang,
listen for any quirks, see who
the stars are (I think --a---

already done this)
• this baby w/ pale stools making
me think of A----… “it looks like
egg”
• TPN cholestasis
• klonidin + methadone for tumor baby
• I got locked out of the
ward and then WWS mom
let me in as she was exiting and
she was quite friendly about it
then she rang the doorbell to
come back in and I was able
to return the favor + let her in
maybe this is the start of a
new era of me liking her and
being more compassionate +
understanding of her position…
empathy moment?
