    So they mentioned CDH again on last night's episode. They sort of explained what it is but it wasn't very realistic. Immediatly after the baby was born they wanted to due surgery and asked the parents which procedure they wanted to do. Also when they showed the baby after surgery he wasn't on a vent or anything just wide awake, breathing on his own, looking around. Gotta love hollywood. But at least they kinda explained it his time.

    I, too, watched this last night. I was happy that CDH was mentioned again but (darn it!) as much as this show and Grey's have "mentioned" CDH they should have already explained it! LOL I was frustrated with the unrealistic way they did this last night as well.

    The choice of surgeries was one that would fix it and one that would temp fix but require more surgery in the future.

    I too, watched the show and dropped everything I was doing when I heard Diaphragmatic Hernia. I was also very unhappy with how unrealistic it was. The baby had a simple op. and all was good. But then again we aren't watching a true medical show, it's a soap opera basically. They were more geared towards the adoption and Adisons "Kiss". It's a positive thing that its out there.....

    Well, its publicity just the same! As nurse and even more as a paramedic, I get so mad at most medical dramas anyway!

    They didn't say the names of the procedures, they just said that one is more "temporary" i think is the word they used saying that as the child grows it could happen again or there was a more "aggressive" procedure that was more risky. I forgot to mention that at the end when the baby was awake he didn't have an incision or anything.

    I missed it but heard about it... I could not believe it I had never heard about CDH until Gabby was diagnosed and now there it is. Its great but I did hear it was unrealistic. But some publicity is better than none!
