Here is the link to the CNN story mentioned above. Makes you think. NO ONE should be forced to make such a drastic decision as this family is doing. We see women travel in excess of two hours to our hospital to do this, I know. Crazy IMO.

When will we practice EB nursing and medicine? Perhaps when tort and insurance reform begin in earnest.

Our own critical thinking skills demand this: we quit laughing at and deriding this woman's opinion and think really about what she is feeling.....it's easy to make fun and much harder really to think about what our role is in making people feel threatened in the the hospital environment.

case in point.
