postpartum patient discharge

[trixie]

Who discharges your moms/babies at your hospitals? How involved are they in making sure the baby is in the corificeat correctly and in the car okay? NOT to install the seat, but just to make sure the infant is rear facing, etc. Or do you just wave goodbye and let them fend for themselves? Just wondering. Thanks!

ROFL---->stevielynn. I am with you when I see a situation that is HIGHLY dangerous, I WILL STEP IN AND CORRECT IT. Maybe I should get my certification in car seats? I dunno, but sometimes, you think ----OUTSIDE THE BOX---- in desperate situations where you know if you don't step in and help, something BAD could happen to an innocent baby...... Or, do you let it go for legal safety, dawngloves? Just wondering....

and the worst car? OH I HAVE SOME STUFF LEMME TELL YA. Worst in recent memory---hmm--- it had to be the one with 1/2 the floor missing in back....yep I am telling the truth ....it was a rustbucket filthy old cadillac full of old dirty clothes, old soda cans and garbage strewn, burnt cig butts all over and YES, a rotted out floor. I was appalled, wondering what kind of horrible HOME awaited this poor innocent baby. It did make me wonder why they even bothered with a car seat, it was so obviously unsafe.
