9. I know nothing about this hospital and whether or not it has a full obstetrics unit, but increasingly...

I am finding that emergency departments in many city hospitals that specialize in cardiovascular disease and surgeries, and secondarily, trauma, and within a hospital that has neither a pediatric nor an obstetrics department, are woefully inadequate to handle births or pediatric cases. In many cases, this is because a very nearby hospital specializes in one or both, but it is still unacceptable to have staff poorly trained in either. Children are not exactly a different species, yet some physicians seem to think they are treating a great ape, rather than a small human, for which readily available apps and hard-copy formularies are readily available to look up appropriate medication use and dosing. Heaven knows they should be able to get a ready consult if necessary via phone or Zoom call, but...

There is no excuse for what happened in this or any other hospital ER.
