THE DUTY OF CARE IS VERY HIGH

Nobody is more vulnerable than a newborn baby, so there is an expectation that physicians and nurse’s caring for them will do so with the utmost diligence.  When a doctor or nurse fails to use the proper standard of care or fails to properly identify and treat neonatal problems, the doctor, nurse, and hospital can be held liable for the injuries to the child.  A neonatal malpractice lawyer can represent you in an action to collect compensation.

The minutes immediately following a birth are crucial, as decisions may need to be made that may determine whether the baby will grow up healthy or suffer from a serious long-term disability.  That’s why an attending neonatologist or pediatrician must vigilantly monitor your baby so that any warning signs for complications can be acted on immediately.  If a baby is in distress, the response must be prompt.

WHY MISTAKES USUALLY HAPPEN

Today’s hospitals are budget conscious and sometimes understaffed, making it difficult to give each newborn in a neonatal unit the proper attention.  Another problem is when pediatricians that are not trained in neonatal care are responsible for the unit and do not know how to give the proper care.  Nurse’s without proper training can overlook the symptoms of an impending critical problem, so it is not treated as soon as possible, causing serious permanent injuries.  A neonatal malpractice lawyer can investigate the circumstances and determine whether malpractice has occurred.

SOME NEONATAL ISSUES TO LOOK OUT FOR

One of the most serious problems are breathing issues or respiratory distress that might require immediate oxygen or even intubation.  Infections acquired from the mother may require intravenous antibiotics before the infection induces a high fever.  Circulatory problems that may be caused by a heart problem that requires immediate surgery.  Brain dysfunction caused by a deficiency of oxygen or a brain perfusion must be treated immediately.  Jaundice, while not as severe, will benefit from rapid treatment as well.

Queens Is the New Brooklyn

Brooklyn used to be where artists went because it was cheap, flexible, and unpoliced. That version of Brooklyn is gone. What’s left is a real-estate brand with a cultural afterimage—galleries designed around sales, neighborhoods shaped by marketing decks, and an art scene that feels increasingly managed. Queens is where the work actually happens now. You can see it across the borough—in Ridgewood, Sunnyside, Forest Hills, Astoria, and Long Island City—not because there’s a single “scene,” but because artists here are still allowed to work without being pushed into a look, a market, or a lane. Queens hasn’t flattened itself into a style. It doesn’t need to. That range showed up clearly at the Queens Says [...]

Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Strenghtens the Movement

Resist Flower™: How Art Funds the March—and Builds the Movement Resist Flower™ began as an image, not a fundraising plan. A simple visual gesture: a flower that refuses to wilt. A form that looks gentle at first glance, then insists on staying. Over time, it became something more than an artwork. It became a shared symbol—one that people recognized, carried, wore, and returned to. And now, it has become one of the ways we are materially supporting the next march. This matters, because movements don’t run on inspiration alone. They require permits, printing, transportation, materials, accessibility accommodations, food for volunteers, sound systems, legal support, and contingency planning. None of that is glamorous, but all of [...]

Art Builds Communities

Art does not arrive fully formed. It is built—collectively, physically, in shared space. Before it appears on a street or in a march, it appears in conversation, in planning sessions, in rooms where people cut, paint, argue, revise, and keep going. This process is not secondary to the work. It is the work. Community is strengthened not only by what art represents, but by how it is made. An art build gathers people who might not otherwise meet. It gives them a common task, a shared visual language, and a reason to stay in the room together long enough for trust to form. The result is more than objects. It is continuity. In preparation for [...]

Art as Power

Art is a form of power that operates through images rather than decree. It shapes perception, organizes memory, and gives structure to experiences that resist easy narration. Long before it persuades, art reorients: it trains attention, alters scale, and determines what is allowed to remain visible. My own work begins from this premise. Images are not neutral, and symbols are never incidental. They accumulate meaning through repetition, circulation, and use—through being carried, held, worn, or encountered unexpectedly. Over time, certain forms insist on returning. A flower becomes a sign of refusal rather than ornament. A future date becomes a horizon rather than a prediction. These are not abstractions; they are working tools. Throughout history, images [...]
