Religion.
Has killed more humans than all infections combined. Infections have vaccines though. A vaccine for religion is rationalism and humanism, which seems to be rare these days and awaiting rediscovery.
Can I say something?
Ok, I'm going to say it anyway.
My heart dropped watching this.
While the intent is commendable and the outcome fortunate, the technique is not correct, also terrifyingly dangerous, by current newborn resuscitation standards. And for a Pediatrician to do this, its downright negligence.
The cornerstone of newborn resuscitation for an apneic (not breathing) baby is positive pressure ventilation (PPV) using a bag-and-mask device (self-inflating bag or T-piece resuscitator), not mouth-to-mouth.
The standard sequence is: warm → dry → stimulate → clear airway → if still apneic/gasping, begin bag-and-mask ventilation within the "Golden Minute."
Giving mouth-to-mouth is problematic (read: can kill) in newborns. The doctors cannot control the pressure or tidal volume delivered. Newborn lungs are extremely fragile, and uncontrolled breaths (as this doctor is giving) can rupture and burst their little lungs.
Additionally, there is infection risk in both directions (doctor → newborn and newborn → doctor). It's not a monitored or standardized intervention.
A CHC (Community Health Center) conducting deliveries is required to have a functional newborn resuscitation corner with a bag-and-mask device. That's a basic NSSK (Navjaat Shishu Suraksha Karyakram) mandate. If the doctor had to resort to mouth-to-mouth, it raises serious questions about equipment availability and facility preparedness - which is the real issue worth highlighting rather than celebrating this as heroism.
The baby surviving is wonderful, but framing a suboptimal, potentially dangerous technique as "clap worthy" sets a problematic precedent.
If you are a pediatrician and a healthcare worker in charge of newborns, please never, ever, do this to the child.
