"Dr. Chang was ruthless. My son required minimal NICU care (PO+NG feeds) and he insisted he would remain hospitalized until his due date. I argued with this, as I really wanted my son home ASAP. He threatened to take me to court to try to gain custody of my son if I persisted in asking to have my son home sooner, and he insisted on inserting an NG tube again even though my son required no NG feeds that day. He persisted in telling me my son required an additional 4 weeks in the hospital until he suddenly told me my son was going home the very next day. Obviously I was thrilled, but he caused significant undue stress and did not allow me and my family to adequately plan for discharge. For example, I was unable to arrange to meet with lactation prior to his discharge and it was difficult to arrange for a pediatrician visit on zero notice. My husband was unable to be off of work for his discharge. He told me stories about other patients when I asked for a better prediction of when my son would be discharged (unrelated stories, like about a baby who was losing weight, when my son had already gained past his birthweight at one week of age). He personally made my son's week in the NICU unnecessarily difficult, and I would not trust him to provide compassionate or competent care to anyone's child. Remember, even when your child is in the NICU, you have the right to refuse any treatment you deem unnecessary or any procedure that hasn't been adequately explained to you. He will make you feel like you have ot either listen to him or go to court. He is wrong. "

What is Neonatology?

Neonatologists are doctors who provide care for newborn babies who need specialized medical help. These babies may be premature, sick, need surgery, or have injuries from birth. Neonatologists work in hospitals in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or NICU, where they have access to special equipment sized to fit very small babies. Although neonatologists mostly see patients after birth, they may occasionally attend deliveries. In some cases where a problem is diagnosed during pregnancy, a neonatologist may also consult with the OBGYN or perinatologist (high-risk obstetrician).

Many of the problems that neonatologists treat are due to prematurity, where an infant is born before 37 weeks gestation. When infants are born prematurely, their bodies are often not developed enough to be able to cope with the world apart from their mother. Premature infants sometimes struggle with issues such as:

Breathing and lung problems, including apnea
Temperature regulation<
Jaundice, a condition that causes yellowing of the skin (jaundice is common in newborns but can sometimes lead to serious complications)
An underdeveloped digestive system, which poses a nutritional challenge
An underdeveloped neurological system, which can lead to problems breathing, sucking, and swallowing

Full-term infants also sometimes require the care of a neonatologist. Problems that might affect a full-term newborn include, among others:

Asphyxia, or a lack of oxygen, during birth
Congenital birth abnormalities
Infections such as pneumonia or meningitis
Hyperbilirubinemia, or severe jaundice
Injuries obtained during the birth process
Bradycardia, or an unusually slow heartbeat

Neonatologists spend time with their tiny patients and their families, diagnose and treat any problems, and manage their daily care. They also ensure newborn babies receive adequate nutrition, which is a critical factor in their healing and growth. Having a baby in the NICU can be a scary time for families. Neonatologists have the knowledge and experience in newborn care to provide the best for your baby.
