The part about the little baby was a little disheartening. Sounds like the kid will probably die.

Indeed indeed. With enough time, they'll get past the fear of needles. Or the Docs will develop a ruse.

That's what I was thinking, I think it would be damn near impossible for me to send a baby that small back knowing I could have done something to save it.

What are you implying?

Perhaps I did have a little sand in my [NDD Admin edit:There are females on this board] ...In hindsight though, I got slammed for basically agreeing with NDD's post.

Or another way to look at it is non-SF folks get slammed for voicing an opinion here, even if they have valuable input.
You win, I'll go back to lurking and my other sites.

The implication here is very clear:

It is that the medics and PA that treated that baby released the patient without doing everything they could.
I would hardly qualify that as a "valuable contribution". I would classify it as an undeserved criticism made without the knowledge or experience required to comment.

I have not noticed that here.
What I have noticed is people popping off with opinion and commentary without the subject matter expertise to back up their post.
"Valuable input"?? It sounded like criticism of the medical personnel on site to me as well, from someone who does not have all of the facts and has admittedly never walked a mile in their shoes.
I have seen other people here get corrected, suck it up, shake it off, and get back to business with a lesson learned and no whining about it.
I see SF guys getting into it with other SF guys in disagreements, then working it out or agreeing to disagree. There are no thought police here.
Have an SF Day, whatever you decide.

I had a Haitian lady bring her baby in to me on sickcall. She told me of the problems her baby had. I took some blood and after doing a thick and thin blood smear figured out the baby had malaria. When we talked about treatment with the mom, she refused saying the local witch Doctor would not allow it.
I wouldn't expect a lot of people to understand some of the things I have seen.
You do the best you can.
Doc
