Brief Transcript of a NICU Conversation Near the Nurse’s Station

Parent 1: Hey, look at our boy’s oxygen saturation! It’s 98%!

Parent 2: Pretty good!

Parent 1: Pretty good?!? Try “awesome,” babe. WAY better than that Snordbaum kid. He’s only 92%.

Parent 2: Yeah, but he just got here yesterday.

Parent 1: Whatever. Sounds like an excuse to me.

Parent 2: His respiration rate is good.

Parent 1: Respiration rate? Come on. That’s SO last Tuesday. All the serious people on the ward are watching O2 now.

Parent 2: *sigh*
