Dr. Jen Gunter

And so I got sepsis at 26 weeks and needed to be delivered.

And it was resistant E. coli too, so that was awesome.

And my kids were one pound 11 ounces and one pound 13 ounces.

And they were in the NICU for a long period of time.

And I had sepsis but recovered, obviously.

And on top of it, my son Oliver had a complex cardiac defect.

He had a pulmonary valve stenosis and a massive ASD.

So you're in this area where you have

no other information to go like, oh, he's the first or maybe the third.

Like, who knows?

What are we going to do?

And so you're relying on people's expertize.

But also, I was very fortunate that, you know, my children also benefited from the great evidence based medicine of

how we should run a ventilator in the NICU, who gets surfactant, what are the oxygen levels we should run at, right?

And so when you'd see, I'd say, oh, are those oxygen levels too low?

No, we have good evidence-based medicine to say.

Right, exactly.

And so I was very reassured by that.

And so one of my sons had terrible, severe gastroesophageal reflux, like vomiting after every meal.

And, you know, he was also on oxygen, so he would vomit.
