I think I know what you're talking about. They follow your health care and try to "cut corners", get you out of the hospital as soon as possible etc. One thing about the baby in question, they have a fund set up for him, and I wish there was a way to get updates. I feel pretty confident they will get the funding for his surgery. His chances for surviving after the surgery doesn't sound all that good, but fingers crossed that he will surprise us.
