1. Intubation

   karenmcd replied to fourbirds4me's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I can't understand how an anesthesiologist can say that it isn't their patient...???!!! The person that said that you are the best to intubate is crazy!!! I work in a hospital that delivers from 30 weeks on...of course we get younger at times and I...

2. Would you assist in abortions?

   karenmcd replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am so glad to hear from the baby's perspective...because that is the real story that is missing....glad to hear that your mother's gave you life as a choice...exactly!!!! There is a human being destroyed in abortion.

3. Woman refuses CS, charged with murder

   karenmcd replied to crankyasanoldma's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I was wondering...If she was mentally ill and on cocaine as well as etoh....how was she deemed competent by the hospital to sign for anything? It seems to me that she should have been considered unable to sign for anything. Maybe since she was unde...

4. Level I Nursery

   karenmcd replied to niquern's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Now I am thinking...shouldn't the high risk patients be delivering someplace else??? It seems to me that the high risk patients should be going to places with at least a level 2???

5. Level I Nursery

   karenmcd replied to niquern's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have also worked in a place in a small town where there were no doctors in house. This was typical. They could get there if they knew in advance for a delivery but like the person stated before if there was no ped...the anesthesia department and...

7. Would you assist in abortions?

   karenmcd replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am not sure what you meant but ... if you haven't already done this then I ask that you actually plug in to your search engine "partial birth abortions" and look at what the procedure is and then tell me that you think that this is an acceptable pr...

8. Would you assist in abortions?

   karenmcd replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

   NO.....I wouldn't but I want you to know that I am not against abortion but I am against the way an abortion takes place. There needs to be a more humane way to end a pregnancy than how they do it now. The other day I got the newspaper and the...

9. Baby switches

   karenmcd replied to gwk's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have heard that it happened where I am and the nurse basically did not check the band. Of course, she was busy and that is what she said her reason for not checking it was. It is something that could easily be prevented by simply checking the ban...

10. I feel weird

    karenmcd replied to TinyNurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work in the special care nursery and I don't think that a home birth is a great idea. Like most, I think at any point a woman with no risk factors can give birth to a baby in secondary apnea. :uhoh21: Meaning something more than stimulation needs...

11. Someone Please talk to ME....I am Brokenhearted

    karenmcd replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is very difficult to handle situations like these. Why do bad things happen to good people???? You are correct. Some things we question over and over but I am not sure we are supposed to know the answer to all these things. Is there anything t...

12. Mother-Infant Coupling

    karenmcd replied to niquern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One consultant...too many. A mother baby unit only works if it is strictly adhered to. Staff and families need to be aware of what is acceptable. I work in a well nursery and level 2 nursery. We go between each depending on our assignment. The u...
