kayla pearson my blog indeed is looks awesome but the story about your child born with all the congenital abnormalities and still alive is a case in point which i believe the people from the part of my world should really know about and be enlightened as what can happen if they can believe like you did: not losing hope and believe that your child may not survive. I know you must have been told the survival rates etc.

One thing I can tell you, if your child was born where i came from he would not have survived up to this day. Not because we may not know what to do but with what to do what needs to be done may not be available. I was working in the Neonatolgy Department of my hospital in my country before I came to Taiwan and almost all the babies born with serious birth defects ended up dying and about 98% of all those that underwent surgery died. I was so moved by this at one of our mortality conferences, I told them that we should stop operating on these neonates. What I said sounded ridiculous and it was condemned forthwith. But the point i was trying to make was what’s the need for the operation if we know they would die. I was even told that those babies whether they were operated or not, they would die eventually but we have to do all we could.

Well the teaching is, as a doctor you should always do your best and to the last second in an attempt to save your patient. But I believe sometimes common sense should be allowed to prevail over our sense of responsibility as doctors as stated by Prof. Hutchison, one of the finest English physicians of our time in his advice to other doctors: LEAVE WELL ALONE; one of the things he advised in his Leave Well Alone was; if the intervention for a patient would make him worst off than without the intervention, leave well alone.

Well i wish your baby all the best.
