FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “So we said, ‘OK, we’ll try,'” Dr Ramanathan explained.
He hailed her release as a rare feat. The hospital has never succeeded in
saving a baby weighing less than 14oz, said Dr Ramanathan, who has
previously stated that doctors nationwide generally leave such premature
infants to die.
“In my 30 years here this is the first time it ever happened,” he
said as Melinda was released from hospital on Friday.
“We have reached a milestone by being able to see Melinda go home. We are
hopeful to see many more milestones accomplished in Melinda’s development as
we follow her care over the next six years,” he said.
Measured by birth weight, Melinda is the second smallest baby in the US – by a
0.3oz difference – and the third smallest in the world to survive, according
to the Global Birth Registry.
Medical advances and technological developments have allowed doctors to
increase the survival rate for babies born weighing three pounds or less,
from 24 per cent to 41 per cent over the last decade The decision to save
Melinda triggered a debate among medical ethicists, based on questions over
the long-term quality of life of such infants. A study published in the
journal Pediatrics in 2010 found that many survivors have continuing
health and learning issues, most remain short and underweight for their age,
and medical complications can be enduring.
There are some rare success stories. The world’s tiniest survivor, Rumaisa
Rahmam, born in Chicago in 2004 weighing just 9.2oz after 26 weeks
gestation, is now a healthy seven-year-old. Another who weighed 9.9oz at
birth is now a 22-year-old honors student studying psychology.
Newborn twins in New York were also being feted as medical miracles yesterday
after they were born at just 25 weeks gestation to a mother with two
uteruses.
Alison Camp, who has a rare condition called Uterus Didelphys, delivered twins
Carter and Griffin – one from each uterus – on October 8 at Women and
Children’s Hospital in Buffalo, doctors revealed. Both weighed less than
1.5lbs at birth and could not breathe on their own, needed blood
transfusions and had broken ribs, among other complications. Carter was
discharged from hospital on Jan 13, weighing seven pounds, the hospital
announced, while Griffin remains in intensive care and may join his brother
next week.
There are only around 75 recorded cases in the world of successful
‘side-by-side’ pregnancies. Mrs Camp has two other children born three years
apart, one from each uterus, and said that the side-by-side pregnancy had
come as a shock.
“We were joking around with my doctor that on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ there was
a woman who had a baby in each uterus and how that could happen to me,”
she said. “We thought it was hilarious. … We joked because it was on
TV, not because it was ever a possibility.”
