»A #baby who was very, very sick, needed to be on a #ventilator. After the baby passed away, what are we going to do with that ventilator? There is no way to sanitize the ventilator and get rid of that multidrug-resistant #bacteria. We also didn’t have tubing to change when we used the ventilator for another baby. So there is a very big chance that you’re going to spread the infection to other babies: so either the baby dies because there is no ventilator or the baby dies because of the bacterial infection. Your options were tragically limited.«
