Throwing the baby out with the bath water

We should never complain about healthcare in Canada. This from the Shanghai Daily News. Seems in Guangdong Province some medical folks got themselves into a little hot water when they pronounced a premature baby dead and put it in a plastic bag in the washroom for attendants to take away with the trash. When the baby's uncle and aunt requested to see the body, they discovered the baby was alive. The baby was rushed to the neonatal care unit while the parents were videotaping everything (I wonder why???). Doctors report the baby is doing fine.

I don't mean to come down hard on China - the people and the country have accomplished so much in such a short time but you really wonder if maybe the folks here need to sit back, take a deep breath, and relax for an hour or two every day to enjoy life.
