• RDS = secondary to surfactant deficiency
- premature, male, growth restriction - gets worse before better, ~48 hrs before baby starts making surfactant - looks grainy on xray - vs TTN which is a shorter course • “jitteriness” • they bring air temp in isolette down to ~27ºC before taking baby out fully (?) • “refrain from therapeutic exuberance” • preemies can’t get formula • mom taking selfies with her baby while resident rattles off numbers, like the weight, which has gone up 30 g in two days. it's cool when babies grow • doc said hypoxic-ischemic is a compound word… brother that is hyphenated… WORDS MATTER!!!! • overseen epic message on fellow’s computer: “guys I feel like today is a joke” • situation w/ teratoma baby is despicable like ultimate failure of medicine all the contrived formatting of presentations + number obsession coming together = lost forest for trees like are his teeth even gonna come in? is it gonna be dry in his mouth all year?
