After NICU I was assigned to OB/GYN and delivered babies.

First week I was like WTF is with all these giant babies. They were normal sized babies. I just wasn’t used to it yet.

Beeps definitely stick with me. The hours and hours of that beeping of a heart monitor and the alarms that go off for any weird reason. You find yourself constantly staring at a monitor and then looking for one when you get home. Luckily when we went the second time, we knew that they knew what they were doing so that helped, but definitely stressful!

I haven’t had to personally experience the hell of being on the other side of it as a parent, but I still have dreams of when I worked in a NICU as a resident (one brief rotation still sticks with me years later).

OMG. so true. My husband does tractor work on the side (snow-plowing, etc) He listed an add on FB for snowplowing and said if someone wants to pay in BTC he'll do the first hour for $1 ($1 worth of BTC) and you wouldn't believe the hate! I don't even understand it. I just had to stop reading as it pissed me off so much. He just laughed and said "it gets 'em talking."

Laughing...

1) Is this still available?

Or

2) Hmm... it's retail 99.99$ and you're selling it in good condition for 65$... so

"Would you take 30$?"

🤯🌋🥴

😧 my singleton was only there 6 days and my twins (boy/girl) spent 17 and 28 days there and that was long enough. Unfortunately we know the NICU life all too well, but those nurses kept us sane. It was a struggle to start, but man we were luckier than 95% of the babies in there!

You don’t get this on Twitter…this is the real Nostr! Family!

That’s amazing. We felt strange at first in the nicu. Nearly full term babies. Healthy weight. But caught a virus are birth the led to liver failure. One twin deteriorated quickly and led to multiple organ failure with the sepsis and brain bleeds. One blood clot they couldn’t touch as it was too close to the spinal cord. We are fortunate both made it through. One is the smartest and most crazy kid I know. While his twin struggles day to day. We give him baths, change his diapers. Basically they told us he will need help for life. But am so grateful he is here. Sure we have bad days where he can’t control it, but I love the days we get happy moments. I honestly can’t imagine what you went through as I know how close we were, thank you for sharing your story 🤍

We don’t have kids yet, but both my wife and I are unfortunately familiar with serious, scary medical stuff.

My mom passed when I was a teenager, from ovarian cancer. Her mom had it too, but it took her getting diagnosed for our family to learn about the genetic (BRCA) component.

Doctors, nurses, hospice workers… honestly all are one of the easiest reasons to believe in the goodness of humans.

I disagree with a lot of it but it provides interesting points and historical arguments for things.

That's why I was curious to hear peoples' thoughts.

Often when I write about money I get an email like, "but have you read Graeber?" and I'm like, "oh here we go again" because it takes time to address.

That’s an incredible warrior you have dad. 🫂

Feeling so much respect and respect rn 💜

My cousin is a NICU nurse and she’s one of the most heroic people I know

It was an eye opening experience to the medical world. Of course while we were there it was constant fear and worry. Now looking back m, pure admiration and respect for those going through it. We stayed at the Ronald mc Donald house, so always make it a point to pay for someone’s stay there a few times a year anonymously. Someone did it for us, and we needed it desperately at the time 🤍 I’m sorry for what you went through. 🤜🤛

Na. My sons (twins) when they were born had liver failure. We almost lost one and he was in the NICU for 72 days. Life support for 10 days.kidney failure. Sepsis. You name it. Has permanent brain damage. 9 years old still in diapers. Those nurses worked their ass off for him and his twin who recovered well. I’ve got photos of tubes coming out of him everywhere. Everyday they were there. The doctor never slept. Always there. Took naps in the break room. My respect for medical personnel runs deep. Especially nurses doing all the grunt work. Once you are in that environment, the respect you find for them is always there 🤍 he’s a fighter and he’s here because of the endless efforts on their part. 🤜🤛

Nooo it the online trenches lol havent been on facebook wver but when i see people screenshots its bloody hell man
