10-11-2023 Northern Gaza:

“We had to leave the patients behind. In the ICU of Nasr Children’s Hospital, we had to leave the patients in their beds…We left surrounded by tanks. We couldn’t take any of the patients with us.”

#ICRC committed to transport these NICU babies to another hospital or any safe place upon evacuation of the Hospital. #ICRC left those children there to die in collaboration with IOF which made the hospital a military occupied place!

During the truce,...Parents returned to the hospital today to find their babies dead & decomposed in their cots.

27-11-2023

The Israeli military forced families to evacuate Al Nasr Hospital, leaving behind their premature babies in the intensive care unit. Israel refused to release the babies. The decomposed bodies of those babies have been found during this truce.

"Shocking scenes in this hospital, seeing babies which the Israeli soldiers refused to evacuate from this unit. According to eyewitness accounts, parents were forced to say goodbye, and leave their children to die in their beds in the intensive care unit in al Nasr Children's Hospital. To reiterate: the Israeli army forbid these children to be evacuated, or for anyone to help evacuate them from the hospital."

‘Patients are dying’: What we know about Gaza hospitals under Israeli siege : They have now all stopped functioning. The al-Nasr Children’s Hospital and al-Rantisi Specialised Hospital for Children can no longer function without access to medical aid. They are also under Israeli fire. It remains unclear what has happened to the 30 children who remain at al-Nasr Hospital. (10-11-2023)

This is an urgent message: northern Gaza’s hospitals are in danger of imminent, full-scale Israeli military attacks. Please help us take action to protect them. 

Early Friday morning, the grounds of Shifa Hospital were targeted by an Israeli airstrike.  The Nasser Hospital has also been targeted. Attacks on Rantisi children’s hospital have caused fires, while bombardment around the Indonesian Hospital has reportedly injured displaced people sheltering in the grounds. 

These vital facilities are filled with medical staff treating thousands of wounded civilians. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Palestinians are sheltering in the grounds, forced from their homes, hiding from Israeli bombs. 

Any attack on these hospitals would be devastating and lead to the deaths of countless innocent civilians, including children and medical staff. (map.org.uk)

Doctors were forced to leave the babies behind in the hospital after they were reportedly given 30 minutes to evacuate the hospital by Israeli forces and leave patients.

Came home after a 36hour duty. I cannot feel my legs.The ER was too busy and we were short staffed and ran out of beds because of the dengue outbreak.

Made rasam rice and omelette, the ultimate comfort food.

I was still hungry so I came out to a cafe to have some good chicken. Last 36 hours I had bites of cookies, puffs, biscuits and sips of milkshake and coffee and it kept me going. But my hunger hit me ultimately when I stepped home.

Might go back home and read about respiratory system examination.

Today's case is an intracranial ultrasound of a 2-week-old neonate born at 24 weeks. A single coronal image depicts the ventricles which should be hypoechoic but are instead nearly completely filled with echogenic material, compatible with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). There is likely extension into periventricular white matter on the right.

IVH is a common complication seen in preterm neonates and is often described in four grades, as outlined below. This case is a grade 4 IVH.

Grade 1. Bleeding occurs just in a small area of the ventricles.

Grade 2. Bleeding also occurs inside the ventricles.

Grade 3. Ventricles are enlarged by the blood.

Grade 4. Bleeding into the brain tissues around the ventricles.

A week full of mixed emotions. At first I contract a random viral gastroenteritis and I am left super lactose intolerant now. Found it the hard way after having a toast with cheese today👍🏽.

Finished reading the latest chapter of JJK. I was spoiled about it long before so I am not shocked or sad. But I have huge anticipation for the upcoming arcs.

After weeks of cloudy and rainy mornings, weather has been sunny for the past two days and the table roses are thriving!

Also almost done with volume 1 of NICU protocols. This textbook is very straightforward and the language is simple. I am able to cover several pages in a day even though I have been studying only an hour or two everyday.

Here's a companion case to yesterday's. This is a neonate with respiratory distress.

...

...

...

The right mid to lower lung is hyperinflated. There is leftward medisastinal shift, including prominent medisatinal fat (that's not a mass in the left lung). CT shows cystic expansion of the right lung (2nd image). This is a congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) formerly known as congenital cystic airway malformation (CCAM). CPAM is a multicystic mass with abnormal bronchial proliferation. Differential diagnosis includes pulmonary sequestration, congenital lobar overinflation, and bronchogenic cyst (usually not aerated).
