how would you like if i did that to you??

So quick story from this week of adventures. Walk into a patient's room, little baby, couple of days old. Mom says she needs cough medicine (she was in there for something completely different). But people get sick at the hospital, so I check it out. She didn't have a fever, everything looked normal, so I start talking to mom. While we are talking, she gets out a bottle. She starts feeding baby, who is FLAT on her back (only a couple of days old remember) and the baby totally starts coughing. Mom says, "see, she needs cough medicine." I quickly show her how you need to prop baby up to feed her, cuz she is new at this and she'll choke. Wow...so the moral, have you ever tried drinking something flat on your back??? Ya, you choke!
