Every morning I arrive in the nursery to find many many screaming infants who are there awaiting the pediatricians. The little boys are lined up for circumcisions and the girls are crying on the other side of the room. They have all been there since 6:30 am. Time now,8:30 am with no doctor in sight many times. When I ask why they all say the pediatricians would have a fit if they had to go room to room to see the babies. No adult would stand for being rounded up without any breakfast,placed in a room of screaming adults to await their doctors morning rounds. Why does it seem okay to so many pediatricians and nursery nurses to do it to our babies who have no voice for themselves? It is not okay. It is not humane. It is the accepted practice in many hospitals. Ann Calandro, RNC,IBCLC
