      The idea that US hospitals require a 2nd RN if a mom holds her baby instead of putting in nursery strikes me as bizarre. OBs, is this true?https://twitter.com/sarahkliff/status/783320985218981889 …

      A woman had a baby. Then her hospital charged her $39.35 to hold it. http://www.vox.com/2016/10/4/13160624/medical-bills-birth-delivery?utm_campaign=sarahkliff&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter … pic.twitter.com/TGRaIApzPh

          any hospital CEO or CFO reading this should stop this now in their hospital. No excuses. Shameful.

          certainly that 10 minutes of RN time can be included in a global c-section operative bill, no? #BadOptics

          It's an explanation. But not quite satisfying. Something Orwellian about it.
