@ai6yr Yeah sadly I can directly attest to this. My wife also an RN works in a NICU and this is becoming more and more common. The Vitamin K is critical to prevent bleeding and strokes https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/protective-vitamin-shots-newborns-decline And the eye ointment? TO prevent pink eye or anything else (at that age it can result in blindness) they picked up while being born. https://www.aao.org/education/clinical-statement/use-of-erythromycin-in-prevention-of-neonatal-opht These parents should have to put money in escrow to cover these avoidable problems. Why? If a kid has a stroke, the odds are long if they can ever go home. We can send INCREDIBLY medically complex home and our incredible parents can do amazing things (I am talking ventilators, feeding tubes et al.) but some cannot and these go to nursing homes. We become very close to the families because we are their ride home for every procedure, every admission and the like. The sad reality is this level of care will costs 10's of millions over the course of this kiddo's life Maybe these imbeciles should put their money where there ignorance is
