Today I am writing about my personal experience with hospital in Philadelphia that often treats young people.
This will be offered in several parts...
I have waited many years to write this in order to protect the lives impacted by the fascist polices and procedures of this evil place.
Specifically we are going to talk about a disease where your body creates too much insulin.
The victims: a family with a newborn a few days old, brought to this hospital under auspices of a standard "well baby" type of situation. (Basically new babies are provided whatever care is needed.)
In this case the infant had need of sun light, or more specifically 460nm blue light, typical of plant lights you buy on Amazon. (Yes, this is probably best according to pubmed.)

| 460nm Blue Light in an Expensive Tube |
New mom lacked experience and, though the infant was not struggling, decided to go to this hospital for this service (as opposed to using the blue light found in sunlight, for example).
So far so good.
Sit under the blue sunlight for a day or two and viola', problem solved!
Things progressed and the need for the blue lights steadily diminished.
Just about time to take the baby home...
Just about out the door until some ER noob/trainee decided the infant needed to be tested for blood sugar. Why is unclear. "Protocol" no doubt.
Now, at this time (years ago and perhaps still today), exactly what an infant's blood sugar level range should be at this point in his life was unclear, particularly right after birth. Normal adult-ish "blood sugar" is pegged at roughly 80mg/dL (plus or minus when you eat, exactly how old you are, yada, yada, yada). (You can google this all you like - one thing you will notice is that web sites don't generally provide a level for newborns because A) it fluctuates and B) the birth process can significantly impact the fluctuation particularly until the baby is able to nurse adequately.
The klaxon's went off.
Red lights flashed.
The blood sugar level obtained from this single test was 70mg/dL (more on this to come). Yes, modern science - take one test (like a Covid PCR test) and done!
Clearly, at least according to the best medical knowledge in all of western civilization, this child absolutely, positively must have genetic hyperinsulinism (a 1 in 20,000 to 50,000 case). No doubt positive!
Team gestapo sugar police were roused from their slumber in the hospital basement and mother and child were swept away, against their will, and imprisoned by the hospital.
Mrs. Wolf, an experienced woman and mother, has four children, nine grand children, participated in difficult births of humans and non-humans alike, perhaps I don't know, 34 or 40 briths all told (only one puppy didn't make it), has seen it all (or at least seen many things) in the birthing process, Motel 6 with a nurse (hold that baby in there - don't worry if it can't breath), resuscitation, doctors with feet braced wrenching (or trying to) inards out of mothers, early births, pretty much the whole gamut (enough so that the vet surgeon differs to her skill and expertise with regard to puppy birth). And further, has dealt with the fall out of such decisions over the decades.
Mrs. Wolf is one tough, smart cookie.
Upon hearing this: A few quick taps of the phone screen to call on all of humanities medical knowledge over the last few decades, a few calls to experienced and trusted advisors, and Mrs. Wolf steps back, winds up, and does a hard thrown down of the "Bullshit" card because:
A) It's a newborn a few days old.
B) You've just kept it from being fed for many hours while it was being irradiated with your expensive blue light.
C) You have no family history of this child.
D) New mom's never had the experience of child birth before and is now in way over her head.
E) It's just one sugar test.
F) You are compounding stress on the newborn as well as mom.
G) There are zero other symptoms of anything.
(This is not some faulty, ballooning aorta just about ready to pop unless we get on the surgery table fast...)
Alas, it's too late.
New mom has been captured!
And by "captured" I mean the child kept against the parents will using the threat the child will be taken by social services and the police called if you question our diagnosis and/or don't subject the child to treatment.
