Human Ventilator

I was stuck at another hospital during the snowstorm because they did
not have a NICU. I swear I'm jinxed with being on the neonatal
transport team for life.

This is Twin "A"--less stable than his counterpart. We couldn't
transport both in one isolette (incubator) because they both needed
respiratory support. Twin "B" left before "A" did and I was stuck
manually being his breathing support for almost two hours. I was left
with a regular labor nurse and a pediatrician--both with little to no
neonatal experience. I can't say much for myself either since I have
leas than a year experience in this field.


HELL YEAH I WAS SCARED!!!!
