Lines: 16 Paraphrase of a news item heard on "All Things Considered": Medical researchers in South America have found a new technique for handling premature babies. Rather than placing the baby in an incubator upon birth, they put it next to the mother's breast and keep it there round the clock. They claim this improves the baby's chances of surviving significantly. Novel idea. Guess we'd better wait for AMA approval though before using it in this country. :-] -- Randy Trigg ...!seismo!umcp-cs!randy (Usenet) randy%umcp-cs@CSNet-Relay (Arpanet)
