Well, I guess the M.E. was hoping that you'd admit to something that would give him/her reasons to look for evidence of abuse. That'd make his/her job easier, you know...
(/sarcasm)
To be honest, sometimes I wonder whether some of those parents that allow their babies to bake or freeze in their cars aren't doing it on purpose... (Again, I don't think that being someone's biological parent automatically makes you love them and do everything that's best for them.)
But I get what you're saying a 3-month premature baby is likely to have a lot of problems. My two sisters were premature by two and one month, respectively (Mom liked to smoke), and they wouldn't be alive today without some medical intervention. I'm surprised that they even let that baby out of the hospital... Maybe the insurance company refused to pay for more incubator time? It sounds weird...
