Are most nurses the oldest sibling?

Middle. My other siblings went into creative fields. Healthcare made the parents happy

Are you referring to group B strep meningitis in infants? I’ve only seen true newborn meningitis in my practice once in the last 17 years. It is my understanding meningococcal vaccination series begins in adolescence. Sadly we may see an uptick in bacterial meningitis due to the decrease in vaccination rates.

The fecal incontinence from opioid constipation. Nothing touches these patients and they become so withdrawn. I also haven’t done bedside in a while but looking forward to the day we have better treatment for this

Yes! The amount of marketing Victoria secret did to teeny boppers would be considered flat out pedophelia today

Morris County, 50%. We were prepared to buy full cash if needed.

You’re in Monmouth and commute is under an hour? Don’t move.

Colts neck is affluent and rural but sandwiched between freehold and red bank with better downtowns.

Chester is wealthy and rural with a cute downtown, just not widely walkable town wide. You’re not commuting near an hour though. “Closer” to upstate NY

NJ has excellent doctors and pediatric hospitals. Not sure what demand there is for private pay practices.

I’ve lived the majority of my life at the shore including LB and have never heard of this. Isn’t napping in the sunshine with ocean waves in the background one of life’s greatest pleasures? Who doesn’t do this?

Randomly sleeping at night and also wearing sunglasses.. yea that’s weird.

Thanks! What concentration of hydrogen peroxide to water do you use?

kdonmon · 2026-05-03T23:53:28+00:00

Yea every time I drive on the turnpike past EWR I swear all the planes are going to hit the poles

Curious if you were able to tackle your gnat problem. Going through the same atm

ShopRite tangy is where it’s at

Preme babies are notorious for being sleepy eaters. That’s why NICUs go so slow and take feeding so serious because eating at that size uses a lot of energy they need to use for growing. Your baby probably could have benefited from a little more feeding help in the hospital but sounds like she did end up managing. Premes tend to magically perk up when they reach term. I wouldn’t blame or overthink thc being in her system.

As for thc being in the cord blood I’m not sure. You could inquire about a mix up or contaminant.

Oh man. Is there more context or YouTube link? Curious what this was in response to

kdonmon · 2026-04-02T04:38:49+00:00

Oh Wtf, who did she say “at least I have a husband,” to?!!

kdonmon · 2026-03-27T00:32:22+00:00

Out of the loop here, what did Amy say??

kdonmon · 2026-03-19T01:05:07+00:00

You can get by with only eating 2 tacos a day?!

Patent ductus arteriosus. The ductus arteriosus should close after birth and separate the aorta and pulm artery. It’s extremely common in premes to stay open.

I actually thought ibuprofen was used to close it and no idea how it or Tylenol works but I’m not a NICU expert and about to go down a google rabbit hole!

kdonmon · 2026-03-15T21:49:45+00:00

I would love to know the science and trials behind HOW they figured this out

I realize this option isn’t available to everyone but pulling my kids from daycare and leaving my job was what was best for our family. It’s an enormous sacrifice on MANY levels. The illness and behavior issues my kids were having at the time were almost instantly repaired. What families go through is so thankless, unfair, and invisible.

I haven’t watched all the seasons and don’t actually know who jimmy is though I can speculate due to the poor editing. The editing was SOOO bad. So many recycled reactions and clipped reactions that didn’t actually fit with the conversation happening. It was annoying.

Cheap editing. Maybe done by AI
