I have learned modern medicine does not know everything. In the past year, I have taken care of three children who were born to parents the doctor told the baby was going to be stillborn or never be able to function as a human. In all three cases the children are writing their own stories; not only surviving, but are mobile, learning to talk and yes, "functioning as a human being". These little survivors, for some reason, tend to be little pranksters and more fun than my "normal" patients ever were! I hit this field when I was burning out and got recruited for not-so-critical teenagers and progressed to the vent/trach babies. It is a ball. If you practice with the home-health companies, they will train you and keep you current. AND only one patient at a time!
