These sold for $125k on Hammacher Schlemmer. One sold on Bring-A-Trailer earlier this year for $205K

Over priced but is ultra nice. You would have to be into HO slot car to appreciate the detail, but Christ only a 2-lane that is really piss pore.
In a much younger life I hand built/had a ( 4-Lane ) HO track fully landscaped with cork berms, with a chicane going onto a 12" straight and multi curve track, and wired for motor breaking when letting off the controller power . In the tiny world of HO slot car Geekery it was very respectable BadAss.

Because not everybody is able to afford the $30,000 hospital bill +

Also those hospitals you so admire sometimes literally kidnap the babies to do things to them against the parents wishes.

A lot of folks these days skip hospitals all together and go to a specialized birthing center where they are treated right and the parents are in charge and none of this doctors with a god complex and men with guns to back them up B.S.

Your statement of it being negligence is just pure ignorance and wrong (I'll stop there so as not to get worse).

Most humans in the world are born outside of hospital and most are just fine.

In my family, recent childbirths ranged everywhere from in a back room of the house with a midwife to a government clinic with a couple nurses, to hospitals, to clinics in Africa.

I'd avoid a hospital for childbirths unless it was high risk. A birthing center or midwife is usually just fine when you are close to a major hospital for any complications.

I understand the cost factor if you don’t have good insurance but not using an available hospital with a NICU unit, I cannot agree with.

Birthing centered are a step in the right direction compared to a bathtub full of water and a midwife but when there are serious complications a nicu is needed.

My first son was delivered by a corpsman and a nurse because he came so quickly. The third by a midwife because the doc was "at another engagement."

GSW, broken bones, etc, I want a trauma center, but hospitals are not the end all for every situation.

You are working on the premise that the midwives of today are the same as those in the old west or in medieval times. Do a little bit of research into the subject and maybe you’ll learn enough to view things differently.

As already mentioned, modern midwives are trained and certified and all regular checkups and tests are still done. They are not going in blind and they make sure that any complication possibilities are taken into account.

I realize that you are in the Pharma industry and thus completely beholden and supportive of the medical industry, but don’t be confused. Open your mind to learning.

And we all know how this winter and the power grid will go. No solar, no wind, get ready.

 

[brianf]

No need to turn into a argument but there is no place on earth that has this equipment other that nicu unit.

Not because I’m pharma, but because this equipment saves lives, mother and child, there is no possible disagreement with that statement.

100% of the rest of the world would give everything they have when a birth goes wrong to have this available.

There is no highly trained midwife or local ”surgi” center, emt, even regular hospitals that have this equipment immediately available and earmarked during a birth.

You people would argue if they were passing out $100 bills.

I really don’t like the design of the new $100 bills to be honest.

“I want a lower serial number”

“Mine isn’t the new design”

“Aw, why is mine the old design”

Not to be pedantic, but the neonatologists and nicu nurses are more important than the equipment.

I was heavily involved with HO slot cars, leading up to being involved with National Championship races in the mid-90s. This was just as the trend was away from the plastic sectional to custom routed tracks was starting. At the time, the fastest class (unlimited) would do a 65 foot road course in under 1.5 seconds.

Blm counts.

Doctors weigh in on decapitation of Georgia couple’s baby

The couple’s attorney said nurses and health care providers in the hospital should have had protocols to deal with the problem.

We really need a reaction emoji STAT for stuff like this lol. Nothing else really works for me (although a would work for some of you haha). And Frank, while you’re at it add a one too
