Episode 34 of The Health Exchange Podcast offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with guest Tori Meskin, MSN RNC-NIC. Dr. Rutland and Tori explore the specialized care premature and critically ill newborns require, from life-saving interventions to the emotional realities of working with families during their most vulnerable moments. They discuss how NICU nurses balance advanced medical skills with compassionate communication, the evolving technologies improving survival rates, and the teamwork essential to navigating complex cases. The conversation also sheds light on common misconceptions about the NICU, the importance of parental involvement in care, and the resilience it takes to show up for the smallest patients every single day.
