i just got off the phone with an old friend who just had a baby boy, he had a problem with his lungs after birth and the doctors THOUGHT it was
pneumonia, they wanted to give the baby medication (will get the name if she remembers next time i talk to her) that once you started taking it you
would have to take for 7 days (anti biotic i assume?) anyways my friend and her midwife even more so are very natural and spiritual so they didn't
want to give him medication cause they THOUGHT it was pneumonia
3 doctors saw my friends baby and wanted to give it drugs for what they THOUGHT might have been pneumonia, the same drugs
3 days after the baby was fine, it was fluid in his lungs i think, he had another small problem (not related to his lungs) and had to be in the
incubator for a bit but now he is home healthy and is doing things faster than normal babies, very healthy and happy now
this isn't some bs from an e-mail that was fowarded to me, this actually happened
why are 3 different doctors trying to prescribe the same medication for the same problem they "thought" the baby might have?
and 3 days later the babys lungs are fine, if it would have started the medication it would have had to have been on it for 7 days i was told, so that
wouldn't have been good to treat the baby for something it doesn't have at 1 day old right? it can't be good, it might not be bad, but it can't be
good
but 3 doctors want the same medication when they "think" it might have something, the baby was fine 3 days later, really what's up with that
i know doctors spend a tonne of time to learn what they do, and i am not saying anything to knock them, i trust mine and i respect all medical
professionals for what they do, i'll leave it at that
but this can't be right
