Nurse breastfeeds infant during surgery to calm her down
A nurse has gone above and beyond her duty when she breast-fed a one-month-old patient during a surgery this week in Guangdong, southern China. The baby girl, named as Wei Wei, was in the middle of a surgery on September 29 when she started crying and wouldn't stop, reported People's Daily Online.
Li Baoxia, who was still lactating, decided to step in and breastfeed the infant patient, who then calmed down so the surgery could continue.
Surgery continued successfully while the nurse breastfed Wei Wei.
According to reports, the baby was undergoing a surgery for an anal abscess when she started crying and couldn't stop.
Due to the baby's age and size, only local anaesthesia was used, which meant the baby could still move.
Li Baoxia had just finished a surgery in a neighbouring operating theatre when she heard about the baby's condition from a colleague.
Without hesitation, the nurse stepped in and breastfed the baby to calm her down.
She then continued to breastfeed and hold the baby while the surgery continued.
The heart-warming scene was captured by a member of the medical staff and shared online.
After the successful surgery, Wei Wei's father was extremely grateful towards the doctor.
He held her hand as he said: 'Thank you! You not only cured my child but also breastfed her. As a father, I cannot thank you enough.'
The father then exclaimed, 'You're an angel nurse.'
That sentiment was echoed by many Chinese web users since the photograph emerged on social media such as Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter.
However, many also questioned whether the nurse had the right to breastfeed someone else's baby.
It is not clear where the baby's mother was or whether the nurse had permission from the family before she stepped in to help.
The surgery was successful and the baby is recovering well.

Mums fight back against controversial advice that kissing kids on the lips is 'too sexual' with pics of themselves with their kids


A few weeks ago, a child psychologist from Californian university UCLA, Dr Charlotte Reznick, said kissing children on the lips was too 'sexual' and asked parents to stop it as it is confusing for young children. Australian mothers have slammed the claim, saying 'it's perfectly natural and loving.' They further protested by sharing photos online of them kissing their children on the lips. See more photos after the cut..
Dr Reznick's comments were originally sparked by an old photo of Hollywood actor Harry Connick Jr kissing his then eight-year-old daughter on the lips.

Photo: 14yr old Junior Olympian dies after brain-eating bug entered his nose while swimming
Amoeba entered 14-year-old Michael Riley's nose while swimming in a lake north of Houston with his cross country team on August 13, AP reports. Michael Riley Jr.’s family says he developed a headache and became disoriented after the swimming. He was taken to the hospital where he was diagnosed with Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis (men-ingo-in-Sephalite-us).
The amoeba entered his nasal passages and made its way into his brain. Riley’s cousin Jennifer Hohman said in a statement that he was taken to Texas Children’s Hospital and placed in a medically induced coma until tests proved he had lost all brain function and couldn’t breathe without support. The hospital disconnected the ventilator Sunday. Hohman confirmed that he died.
Michael competed in the Junior Olympics three times and was due to start high school this year.

Tutenkhamun's eggplant was erect when he was mummified so he would look like a god
The world's most famous mummy, Tutenkhamun, was buried with his penis standing at a 90 degree angle. Now experts believe that his everlasting erection was made to make King Tut look like Osiris, the god of the afterlife.
According to Egyptologist Salima Ikram, professor at the American University in Cairo, it was to counter efforts by his father King Akjenaten to establish a religion of one god.
King Tut had, however, worked to reverse his father's ideology and return Egypt to the traditional worshipping of several gods.
Professor Ikram believes he was buried with his erect manhood in a bit to continue his endeavour even in death. The upright penis actually broke off after the discovery of the tomb, amid speculation it was stolen.
