Saving Lives in the Hardest Places


So while I complain about my life being rather miserable, there's this happening in more places than I dare to think. Not the mere act of saving newborns itself, but the cruel reality of violence that is pervasive in some places, more than others.

I am thankful for what I have, and repeatedly remind myself that it could be worse.

In the aspect of neonatal resuscitation- i.e. neonatal resuscitation programme, the current one that I learned in my previous posting, I have a lot to say about the techniques seen in this video. But when I think about it again, of the lack of resources and obviously manpower, and hence the lack of training that many of these brave souls might face... I am unable to say much.

All that's important, to them, is that they save lives. No matter how outdated the techniques. No matter the lack of equipment.
And that's what's most admirable.

So there's a quick recap of NRP and also a refresher for my soul.
In preparation of what may be the most dreadful day to come.

I fear it so much!




P.S.: Today must be one of the most relaxing days of my posting, which usually does NOT mean well for the coming days T___T I'm so superstitious astaghfirullah.
