• tumor baby having a “huge agitation moment”
• resp cultures tend to be colonized
BUT if you see leukocytes that’s
more than just colonization
• TPN + PPI = precipitate in line,
lose your line
• “drifty sats," aside from which
vitals were normal
• pneumatosis = air in bowel wall
(not lumen)
- stool on xray can mimic pneumo
• nurse K---- has little badge clip
that reads “NICU: where little things
matter”
• I think my biggest beef with
the whole thing is how we all
just default to “life saving” and
life prolonging without ever giving
it much critical thought. Why
have we all just internalized to the
point of like…………… blind
obedience to a principle like this?
one that brings so much iatrogenic
suffering not only for patients
but families + providers + “system”?
- as in, this shit costs the “system”
so much fucking money, which it
doesn’t matter cuz money is
fake, but it’s also real enough to
have real life repercussions…
- long story short I just think
we all need to reconsider life
saving as the default mode of
medicine
