I don't know if it ranks up here, but the contraption they stuck my daughter in, in order to get a clear chest x-ray, was pretty damn nasty. It resembled some kind of medieval torture device more than it did a medical tool.

yeah dealing with kid, babies and premature babies is hard, some of the stuff they use does look like a torture device, heck I still can't believe that I used to hold a preme in my hand and was able to insert nose pillows to put them on a vent to help them breath, they are just so damn small, I only could handle working with kids for about a year, too tough for every 10 that walk out there is the 1 or 2 that don't. Looking back the one's that would pass that had family to grieve over your could stomach, its the one that were born addicted and never had anyone come visit they would fight so hard but would lose in the end and the only humans that were there to shed a tear were us ICU workers that took care of these kids, dark times many bottles of JD consumed on bad days.

That just struck a nerve with me. Right after my wife and I got married in 1998, she got pregnant with triplets. She tried very hard to carry them at least long enough to be sustainable. She wound up miscarrying several weeks early, unfortunately. I recall the doctors taking me to a small room off of the side of the delivery room and telling me that they couldn't save them. It really killed me, because I looked down at them and the biggest of the three of them was actually breathing. Not moving or conscious, but breathing. I pointed at her, but the doctor just shook his head and said "She's too small."

I'll never forget that heartbreak.

But it goes without saying that if they had survived, they'd have had a lifetime of health problems of every imaginable sort. And beyond that, my three kids that I have now wouldn't be here either.

One of those listed was the tonsillectomy. I had that done when I was five. I was sick all of the time until that surgery and after I was almost never sick. Nor did I become obese. I think they may have gotten that one wrong.
