NICU




I am doing a hospital rotation right now. These are some of the babies in the NICU. There are 101 babies currently and 2 doctors. In the last picture is 2 babies being ventilated by one ambubag. Someone has to pump all day long to keep these babies alive. There are some very tiny babies there, under a pound. Their parents leave some of the babies because they can’t pay for the bill. Working in the NICU for the last 2 days has been one of the saddest experiences of my life.

Hiya,

It's amazing to think about that many babies are being cared for by only 2 doctors. It is reassuring though that you know God is watching over every single one of them. WOW.
