5 Years Later
The word "neonatology" is stuck together from
several root words and basically means "science of the newborn" --
"neo" = new, "natal" = birth, "ology" = science
of.n
If I were five years older, I would be in college to become a Neonatologist.Neonatology is the medical specialty of taking care of newborn babies, sick babies, and premature babies.
In most hospitals, babies are only admitted to the NICU
directly from the delivery room, the newborn nursery, or from another
hospital's NICU or nursery. For reasons of infection control, if a baby has
gone home and then gotten sick and come back to the hospital, the baby will
probably be admitted to a pediatric ward or pediatric intensive care unit rather
than the NICU. Of course, exceptions can be made if the baby has a problem that
definitely requires the constant attention of a neonatologist.
Babies usually stay in the NICU until they are ready to go
home, even if that takes several months. This is much different than an adult
or pediatric intensive care unit, where the patient will leave the unit as soon
as they are stable and do not need help with their breathing and constant
monitoring. For this reason, NICUs are often divided by walls or partitions into
several distinct regions: a true "intensive care" area where the
nurses and doctors spend most of their time at the babies' bedsides, an
"intermediate care" area for babies that are still on IVs or extra
oxygen, and a quieter area for the "growers."

Cigarette Advertising
Cigarettes are the only product advertised which are lethal
when used as intended. Indeed they are a product about which nothing good can
honestly be said. They are highly addictive. The damage they do to health has
been documented by more than 50,000 research studies. Smoking is the single
largest preventable cause of death in America .
Over 1,000 people die every day because of cigarette-related diseases. In the
twentieth century, more people have been killed by tobacco than by war.
Nowhere is the distorted perspective of advertising a
perspective that manages to screen out almost all unpleasant reality except the
strictly personal (e.g., bad breath, facial hair) more obvious than it is in
cigarette ads. Contradictions abound in the world of tobacco advertising.
Youthful, healthy people frolic and play with no apparent worries whatsoever.
"Alive with pleasure," proclaims the ads for Newports, as if to
obliterate the haunting subtext, "Dead with cancer." Macho men owe
their freedom and independence, indeed their very masculinity, to their Camels
and Marlboros, although the evidence indicates that cigarettes are linked with
impotence, lower testosterone count, and sterility.

3D Movies
3D now is a step up from what it used to be. Now we use
glasses that are polarized instead of the original blue and red glasses a definite
improvement. I personally have seen one 3D movie but it was a great experience.
The 3D movie I saw was Toy Story 3. While the ticket cost an extra 3$ it
was worth it. Instead of just watching a flat movie it the glasses make
it appear that you are looking into the movie! it made the screen look like a
3D box. This new system is amazing. It brings back the magic in movies! My only
complaint is that in the old 3D system things would jump out at you. In the new
system they don't do that any more. Now though it actually looks real
instead of just being blue and red. 3D has come a long way in the past ten
years. I think that in the future all movies will be 3D and I think that is a
good thing.
