Do not be afraid. I swore upon the Hippocratic Oath never to harm your babies. Even if I'd have to prick 'em to take a little blood, or put a tube through their weener to investigate for urinary track infection, or even put a needle through it's spine to get a little cerebrospinal fluid just in case of meningitis. At the end of the day, your child is safe, because we did all that.

Now, here's the f*cked up part.
1. When you start noticing that I'm pricking your kid too much
- because his veins are just too bloody fine to cannulate.

2. When you feel that your baby isn't getting enough attention from the doctor
- because I've gotta give attention to the other 30 babies in the NICU.

3. When you were so worried about your kid, you asked a million questions
- when I had other more pressing issues to settle.

4. When you found out that your child is fine, you constantly nagged about how fast your baby could be discharged
- because you don't care about my medicolegal issues on negligence, you just wanna go home

5. When you feel that you've been kept waiting
- because I've been waiting for the Senior Medical Officer, who was waiting for the Specialist. So if I can take it up my @$$, i'm sure you can too.

6. When we give you an appointment date, you don't bring you baby for a follow-up
- because now, you've become a specialist after learning from the nurse during your stay in the NICU.

7. You mom's don't breastfeed your own child, but you complain about the hospital food
- because .... umm... ah..because... well,...hmmm. I dunno. Even I hate hospital food.

So, backfire or FIRE BACK!!
