The response you disliked detailed the hypocritical lack of compassion which that particular health care worker was showing toward the resident. The irony of it was utterly lost on a lot of people here.

(But not on everyone )

In that case, let me urge you never to walk through a NICU in the middle of night when all the parents are gone, or you'll hear plenty of horrifying discussions of which babies are annoying, or ugly, or are probably going to die, or have funny-looking penises.

And while babies may be vulnerable to infection or hypothermia or dehydration, they're not vulnerable to being called stupid, because it doesn't mean anything to them.
I wonder what the NICU nurses said about my precious little girl, what with her having a syndrome and all...
this is just not right.

That quote does make it sound like NICU nurses are callous and detached, but I don't believe for one second it is representative of the way most of them feel about taking care of newborns, whatever their problems at birth. If your baby was in the NICU, you probably know first hand how much they DO care. Best to you and your little girl.
