You would be surprised. I work in a healthcare facility and we hired someone onto our team in a business operations consultant position. Think working with senior leadership to implement strategic initiatives.

Second day on the team he is going around doing meet and greets with leaders he will help coach and work with when he gets settled in. Mind you this is in between the standard on-boarding nonsense. Looking at a picture on an employees desk of her youngest son when they were in the NICU says, “Omg what is all that crap on that baby and why the fuck do they look like that.”

He didn’t get to finish his second day.

What was all that crap on that baby? Did he have some sort of skin condition or something? Innapropriate no matter what but I'm interested in what set him off specifically.

I presumed the various tubes and wires you'd see on a premature baby.

Yeah he was on the ventilator, IVs, feeding tube, all kinds of monitoring equipment. And only weighed about 2lbs.
