Overheard Attending Refer to Baby as “Spare Parts”

My child is in an open concept NICU. There are other babies all over.One family has twins near my child. While I was in there today, I overheard the attending literally laughing that one twin was too small, spare parts for her twin and that she was perfect for the medical students to practice on because she was not expected to live.I’m stunned. My baby is expected to be in the hospital for 2 more months. I don’t want their care to be impacted. But at the same time, what the actual fuck? Would you approach the other parents when they come in? Would you talk to the patient advocate? The callousness is beyond anything I’ve ever seen via /r/NICUParents https://ift.tt/hNfkCmU
