WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:07.679 You are about to listen to the Doctor Dahlia Show, 2 00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:14.400 sassy stimulating talk radio and now here's doctor dahliat doctor 3 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:15.759 doctor t. 4 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.160 Me Alie, Alie, Allie. 5 00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.000 So if you haven't guessed, I'm not feeling too well 6 00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.800 on my own choice, and I wouldn't do it different, 7 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:32.679 but I decided to complete my shingles vaccine series. And 8 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.240 for those of you that have ever gotten your shingles vaccine, 9 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.320 you know exactly what I'm talking about. You get the 10 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.399 first shingles vaccine, you feel bluff for a couple of days. 11 00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:44.759 You got the second one, you feel horrible. And I 12 00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:46.159 feel horrible. 13 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:46.399 Now. 14 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:47.799 I know there's a lot of people who are not 15 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.719 very you know, pro vaccine, going Dolly, and why do 16 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:50.679 you keep doing this to yourself? 17 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.439 Why are you getting these vaccines? 18 00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:54.759 And then we have to hear you complain about them 19 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.880 because you know, I'm honest. I'm gonna tell you if 20 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.920 I'm gonna vaccinate against something, I'm really honest about that. 21 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:06.319 Maybe too honest, but the shingles vaccine, for me, I 22 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.680 thought it was a good idea. I had chicken pox 23 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.239 as a kid, in pretty bad chicken pox and shingles 24 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.560 is your chicken pox that decides to hide out in 25 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.239 one of your dermatomes and then comes out in a 26 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.040 period of stress, or COVID could wake it up and 27 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.400 then or something else could reactivate it and then you 28 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.920 get a very painful, blistering rash. If I only thought 29 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.239 I would get shingles on my butt, I might rethink 30 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.680 the vaccine. But my hunch is I'm gonna get the 31 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.959 shingles all across my eye and face. I don't want that, 32 00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.560 or I'll get it wrapped around my chest where I 33 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.480 can't breathe. So for me, I wanted to get the 34 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.920 shingles vaccine. I also got the cat vaccine. The I 35 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:53.319 got the uh uh pneumonia vaccine as well, because after 36 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.920 this last bout of covid, I'm like, I don't want pneumonia, 37 00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.680 and the uh the pneumonia vaccine now is just a 38 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:02.640 one shot deal where you don't have to get a 39 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.159 rebooster and it covers you for at least twenty one 40 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.560 different strains. So for me, I was like, that's a 41 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:11.199 good deal and insurance, most insurance covers it. But the 42 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.960 shingles vaccine aUI aUI aUI my arm. 43 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:15.919 Is killing me. 44 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:21.520 My underarm is swollen. I can't lift my arm, horrible headache, 45 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:28.319 couldn't sleep, felt feverish, completely nauseated, couldn't get comfortable, hardly 46 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:32.159 slept last night. Now, but it's worth it. It's worth it, 47 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.319 I mean for me. Now, somebody could say, well, isn't 48 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.599 that scary? Not really, because it means my immune system 49 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:38.319 got woken up. 50 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.800 And shingles scares me. Not the one that you get 51 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.479 on the butt, but if I got it anywhere else. 52 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.439 I've had patience where they had post herpetic neuralgia, where 53 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.199 that pain haunted them for life. And I'm the type 54 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.360 of person. Maybe it's because I'm a doctor where when 55 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.719 something goes wrong or there's a side effect, you're the 56 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.759 one that's gonna get it. Learn early on that when 57 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.199 I got pregnant, you know, you, being a doctor, you're gonna. 58 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.560 Have the complications. It just happens. 59 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.639 Because you're working all the time, you're not hydrating enough, 60 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.000 you're around so much infectious disease. You know you're gonna 61 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.759 get the complications. And it's like, well that sucks. And 62 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.319 so always whenever something goes wrong, it seems to go 63 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.120 wrong with me. So for me, I'm like, you know, 64 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:20.840 if I'm getting shingles, is probably not gonna be the 65 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.360 easy kind. And we also had studies if you remember 66 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.240 last year that said those people that get the shingles 67 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.319 vaccine have a lower case of dementia. Now, maybe it's 68 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.960 because shingles, especially if it hits you know, the face 69 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.120 and eye and brain, or you have a severe, severe 70 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:39.000 infection of shingles, that can be pretty pretty devastating and 71 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.080 you know, affect your brain health. But for me, I 72 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.319 was like, I'm gonna do it, but I feel like crap. 73 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.319 So whenever you do get the shingles vaccine, you want 74 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.280 to make sure you have at least two or three 75 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.599 days off work. At least you want to let your 76 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.680 employer know you're getting a vaccine. Okay, don't panic about 77 00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.960 me having an infectious disease. I am going to be 78 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.120 feeling like crap. But I got to tell you something. 79 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.599 The one thing though, that happens to me with these 80 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.560 vaccines that I've been excuse me, very happy of about, 81 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.400 is I don't get the illness if I get the vaccine. 82 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:12.520 So they work on me. 83 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.199 For some people they may not work, but for the 84 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.439 maturity of us, they do, and so I chose to 85 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:19.680 do that. 86 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.920 I know there's a lot of people. 87 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.160 Going, oh, yeah, man, I don't like vaccines. I don't 88 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.879 trust the government, and that's your personal choice. 89 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:27.959 I'm not telling you to go and do something. 90 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.040 But for me, it really made a lot of sense 91 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.399 because what I've seen with shingles, and I've seen it 92 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.399 due to patience, and what I think it could do 93 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.160 to me not good. And so if it means for 94 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.040 a couple of days, I'm gonna feel like crap, I'll 95 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:41.439 go with that. 96 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.199 Yeah. And I know people say, yeah, but shingles doesn't 97 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.360 kill shingles technically. 98 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.560 I've never seen somebody die of shingles, but I have 99 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.240 seen somebody go blind, I have seen somebody get secondary infections. 100 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.319 I have seen people get very very ill. I just 101 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.079 don't want that now. And another thing too that also 102 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.000 steered my thinking, which I know is not going to 103 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.040 be something you all want to hear, is I am 104 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.480 now of the mindset that there is not going to 105 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.319 be a hospital bed with my name on it where, 106 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.240 if God forbid, I need to go to the hospital. 107 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.560 Were full right, we do not have the infrastructure for 108 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.360 the amount of population that we have. It used to 109 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.319 be you went to the hospital, you get admitted, but 110 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.279 that's not the case. I'm hearing people are stuck in 111 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.800 the er for days. I'm hearing hospitals are full, overwhelmed, 112 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.399 and so my fear, especially with the pneumonia. So I 113 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.639 got the pneumonia vaccine is if God forbid, It's my 114 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.199 time where I'm like, Okay, now I need to. 115 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.639 Go to the hospital I had. This is my first. 116 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.959 Time that I'm going to be told no, sorry, we 117 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.519 can't help you. And it's not that the er would 118 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.040 say that, it's that I would have to be diverted 119 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.959 to someplace where there's room. We don't have enough facilities anymore, 120 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.879 and the medical systems are overwhelmed. We have just too 121 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.519 many people and not enough structure, not enough infrastructure, and 122 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.800 not enough staff. So I need to make sure I 123 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.720 don't get sick. Ah Am I gonna get the flu 124 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:13.600 vaccine this year? 125 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:14.160 I don't know. 126 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.079 I haven't decided yet, because this is really messing me 127 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.439 up right now. I don't think I could get I 128 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.839 did my left arm because I really need to use 129 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.839 my right arm, and I know that I just can't 130 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.079 even basically bend to. 131 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.040 My left arm. Right now. 132 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.079 The problem with that is you don't want left arm 133 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.800 pain because then you're thinking, oh my god, if I'm 134 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:31.480 having a heart attack. 135 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.680 So I with the COVID vaccine. 136 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.439 I told you, I'll really consider doing it on the 137 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.879 right because you're gonna think you're having heart issues for 138 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.639 a month, because you know, if you're you react like 139 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.480 I did to the COVID vaccine on the left side. 140 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.839 But I gotta tell you, when I got that COVID booster, 141 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.160 I didn't get COVID for a year or two. That 142 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.399 was kind of nice because I just got COVID this 143 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.959 summer and it sucked. As you know, the COVID strain 144 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.319 is going is now circulating. Not a lot of hospitalizations, 145 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.439 thank god, but people are down for weeks and it's 146 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.839 not good. Don't get the shingles vaccine if you're sick. 147 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:05.560 I felt like I was well enough and not having 148 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:07.480 you know, COVID, that I could, you know, function and 149 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.199 do well. But talk to your medical provider. For those 150 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.120 of you over fifty, we recommend it. For those of 151 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.959 you nineteen years old and above, if you're at high risk, 152 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.680 we recommend you get the vaccine. Talk to your medical provider. Also, 153 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.480 consider the pneumonia vaccine because the number one cause of 154 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.079 death with flu is a pneumonia. You know, the number 155 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.800 one in veccious disease that affects older individuals is an ammonia. 156 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.319 So you really need to, you know, make sure that 157 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.399 you're preventing that. And so I love that we have 158 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.800 a vaccine for that. So, but it's my personal choice. 159 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:40.800 I I don't give me crap if I wanted to 160 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:57.279 do that one eight seven seven doct DOLLI don't go away. 161 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.959 This is an urgent announcement for anyone that's ten thousand 162 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.519 dollars or more in debt.

The baby the mom didn't 207 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:42.159 want to abort the baby, so McKenna West is a 208 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.639 nurse from Alaska. She carried the baby for the California 209 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:51.600 couple Nauchene Gilcar and Omar Ahmed. There was a surrogacy 210 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:57.120 agreement that included an abortion clause. At twenty weeks so 211 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.600 about four and a half to five months old, the 212 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.679 fetus was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Now, hypoplastic 213 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.679 left heart syndrome means a left side of the heart 214 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.960 is not able to pump the blood to. 215 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.960 The degree that it needs to. There's less space. It's hypoplastic. 216 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.159 Then more has to happen with the right side of 217 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.639 the heart, where the right side of the heart has 218 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.159 to do most of the work. The ductus arteriosis of 219 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.759 first few days of life could help a little bit, 220 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.080 but after that there could be a high fatality rate 221 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:34.320 without medical intervention. With medical intervention, however, there's a. 222 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:35.879 Lot that could be done. 223 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:43.000 But the biological parents requested that Miss West terminate the baby. 224 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.919 West refused, fled to Texas, and she gave birth on 225 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:54.240 August twelfth. Texas Attorney General temporarily intervened to mandate life 226 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.360 saving care. The biological parents secured a restraining order restricting 227 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.679 West from contact the infants successfully end under what a 228 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:07.000 norwould procedure on August seventeenth, so the biological parents are 229 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.559 now suing the surrogate for over one hundred grand for 230 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:14.120 breach of contract and alleged damages. They named the child Roomy, 231 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.679 but apparently in the media and Miss West, they referred 232 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:24.159 to the baby as Gabriel, so the surrogate said as 233 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.279 soon as the baby was born, that the baby got ripped. 234 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:27.639 Away from her. 235 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.519 And you know, being a surrogate's not easy because you know, 236 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.919 it's understood that you don't you bond. 237 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:34.120 With the baby, but it's not your baby. 238 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.080 When you're a surrogate, whoever is the biological parents, they 239 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:38.000 get access to the baby. 240 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.279 But she did not want to abort the child. 241 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:47.960 And so she's an Alaska mother and a cardiac nurse, 242 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.799 so she fought to have this baby live. 243 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:51.799 And get a chance. 244 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.039 And it's a baby boy who they now name Gabriel. 245 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.840 She got sixty seconds with him while the umbilical cord 246 00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:02.080 was still connected, and then of course the baby was 247 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:06.960 taken away and then later given to the intended parents. 248 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.200 The biological appearance. 249 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:10.960 Wes had agreed last year to serve as a surrogate 250 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:15.559 for Omar Ahmed and now Sheen Gilkhar of California, but 251 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:19.600 they wanted to terminate the pregnancy. Ahmed in Gilkar's attorney 252 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.919 disputes to key parts of her account and says they 253 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.840 consented to the child's surgery as soon as doctors determined 254 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:29.799 that he was eligible. So the Norwood procedure was the 255 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.919 first of three open heart surgeries for newborns to commonly 256 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:38.200 treat this, and apparently many of these babies can survive 257 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.559 into adulthood. 258 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:50.039 So that is something that is a obviously a yep bill. 259 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.840 This baby live about sixty to seventy percented children who 260 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:55.960 are able to get open heart surgeries with a heart 261 00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:00.360 transplant sixty to seventy children sixty to seventy percenter to 262 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.240 make it at least through five years old. For individuals 263 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.159 who survive these early childhood procedures and reach adolescents, ninety 264 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.399 percent survive into adulthood. Some of these patients were seen 265 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.399 are living well into their mid thirties and beyond. Of course, 266 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:17.360 we haven't had the surgery and the data, so we 267 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.519 don't have a lot of eighty year old data right 268 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.759 because we didn't have the procedure then, but for them 269 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.799 to be able to you know, so that means there's potential. 270 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:31.320 So the highest risk period is you know, obviously after 271 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:32.279 neonatal surgery. 272 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:36.039 Overall survival rates range anywhere from sixty percent to seventy 273 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.039 five percent. That's still good, but it's nin one hundred 274 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.159 percent age is five to eighteen, around seventy percent of 275 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.879 children that under the go the multi stage reconstruction including 276 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.799 a Norwood and Glen and fontane procedures or even a 277 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.600 heart transplant, can reach school age. Once patients make it 278 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.320 to early adulthood, they've gotten through a lot of the 279 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:04.320 trouble time. So we have some amazing pediatric advancements. And 280 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.639 now is the question, you know, who gets to decide 281 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.080 if the baby gets to live, the biological parents or 282 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.840 the surrogate. Well, according to the you know, of the 283 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:17.559 according to the biological parents they had, and they're an 284 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.559 abortion clause where if they want the surrogate mom to abort, aboard, 285 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:29.360 but the baby was already second trimester, and so you know, 286 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:33.360 that's that's harder to do. And this mom who's a 287 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.559 cardiac nerves is like, you don't have to abort, don't panic. Okay, 288 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.039 we could be doing stuff there there's things we could do. 289 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:43.679 And again, I can't think of what the biological parents 290 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.000 are thinking. Are they thinking the expense? Are they think 291 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.080 of this child's not going to have, you know, an option. 292 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.080 You know, is a child going to struggle? Are they 293 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.960 going to be burdened with medical bills? But the thing 294 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.000 is is the baby has a fighting chance to live. Now, 295 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.320 I'm on the side give baby a fighting chance to live. 296 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.279 West is being represented with assistance from Alliance Defending Freedom. 297 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.039 She is not trying to take somebody else a child, 298 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:10.679 she said. I'm not fighting to try to take someone 299 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.519 else's baby. I'm fighting because the baby boy needs somebody 300 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.279 willing to advocate for and fight alongside him as he 301 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:19.360 gets the ongoing treatment his fragile heart requires. 302 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.399 So the concern the mom. 303 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.399 Is having is, even though the child was able to 304 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:28.039 get one procedure, are the parents who wanted this child 305 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:33.240 aboarded going to be on board with doing the follow 306 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:34.120 up procedures? 307 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:37.440 And I see why there's the back and forth with this. 308 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.440 The parents are probably thinking, I didn't want this if 309 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:44.120 the baby wasn't gonna be healthy. Yeah, we you know now, 310 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.399 And this is what they're thinking. It's not I wouldn't 311 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:50.200 have shared this thinking. But they're thinking is like the expense. 312 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.879 The round the clock care, you know, we you know, 313 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.159 we we knew. 314 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:58.799 This would be an issue for us. But then then, 315 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.919 don't be that child's parent. Give that child to somebody 316 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.640 who wants them. Miss West is not trying to get custody. 317 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.559 She just wants to make sure that the parents that 318 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.200 wanted the kid aboorded will still take care of the child. 319 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.359 So McKenna is now fighting for custody because Gabriel needs 320 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.440 somebody willing to defend him, according to her A Live 321 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.960 Action founder and president Lila Rose, whose organization has supported 322 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:28.640 miss West, so Rose questioned Ahmed's and. 323 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.000 Gilkhar's account of events. 324 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:32.079 She said, if they were willing for Gabriel to receive 325 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.079 the surgery, why did a Texas court have to ensure 326 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.359 that he received it under the force of law. The 327 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:39.759 court intervened and Gabriel has now received the surgery he 328 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.480 desperately needed. 329 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:41.119 To praise the lord. 330 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:44.559 Rose also alleged that Ahmed and Gilkar, the parents, previously 331 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.160 declined to consent to the baby's medical care, and is 332 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.359 now wanting to take him out of Texas. Their attorney 333 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.039 has disputed west characterization of the case, saying that they 334 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:54.680 consented to surgery once the baby's medical team determined he 335 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:58.160 was eligible for the procedure. So Texas Attorney General Ken 336 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:05.960 Paxton had intervened and to Texas medical centers had legal 337 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.599 obligations to provide medically necessary care after the child was born, 338 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.319 and you know, the future of this child is going 339 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.400 to be up in question because the child is gonna 340 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:20.839 need a lot of care, and so if the parents 341 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.440 don't want to be a part of that, they could then, 342 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.920 you know, give that child up for adoption or give 343 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.640 the child to the surrogate. But if the parents do 344 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.799 want the child, they're gonna have to then take care 345 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.920 of the child. And you know, it's interesting because I 346 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:37.400 had the conversation with my doctor. My doctor said, I 347 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.200 want to do the triple screen on you because in 348 00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.680 case you have Down syndrome. I go, you don't have 349 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:43.480 to do the testing because I'm still gonna want the baby. 350 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:44.920 I'm not going to abort the baby. 351 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.359 You know, a butt she goes, but I need to 352 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.599 know so I could prepare Nick you if we do 353 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.559 have any issues, still do the testing. 354 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.000 I'm like, Okay, no problem, but I will keep the baby, 355 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:54.720 just to let you know. 356 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.200 But you have other parents who are worried and there 357 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:02.000 and and they're know they they you know, having a 358 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.640 child that that they can't take care of is very 359 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:11.119 demanding and it's a shame because we have the ability 360 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:13.640 to do amazing things, and some of these kids are 361 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.200 able to fight well and and you know, you always 362 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.440 get that conversation survival of the fittest. If nature didn't 363 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:24.240 want that baby, why are we intervening? Well, I look 364 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:27.640 at survival of the fittest and the Darwinian natural selection 365 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:29.799 is we now have the ability to save those babies. 366 00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:34.599 So then why wouldn't we It's not easy. 367 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:37.279 So the surrogate mom at least was able to give 368 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.359 birth to the baby. The baby was able to get care. 369 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.400 And what really stinks is this child is going to 370 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:47.920 grow up seeing this on the internet, how they how 371 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.839 her original parents wanted her or him him aborted. 372 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.200 And that's not easy. It's not easy for a child 373 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:55.640 to see that. 374 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.160 And so you know, the parents are going to have 375 00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:00.799 a really good conver have to have a really good 376 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.599 conversation with the child, uh, you know, saying look, you know, 377 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:05.279 at the time, we didn't think you would make it. 378 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:07.839 We thought the fatality rate was high, and you know, 379 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:09.839 we love you and you know, but but they're gonna 380 00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:11.279 see that this is I mean, because this is a 381 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.039 case and I'm sure eventually we might even see the 382 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.119 Supreme Court get involved. What happens if a surrogate doesn't 383 00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.880 want to abort the child and goes to an area where. 384 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:23.480 Abortion is not as easy to get. 385 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:26.799 You know, what did the biological parents have in terms 386 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.839 of choice? First trimester is a whole different scenario than 387 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.839 second trimester, So we'll see what what happened, but hopefully 388 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:37.440 the baby does well. Godspeed one eight seven seven Doctelli. 389 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.960 At Hotshot Secret we share the science behind common diesel 390 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.920 problems in their solutions. For example, diesel fuel setane levels. 391 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.640 In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is 392 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:13.559 forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more 393 00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:16.839 efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one. 394 00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:19.680 Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your 395 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.759 seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. 396 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.519 Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in 397 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.839 particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of 398 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.759 your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three 399 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:36.400 percent less DPF regenerations. 400 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.039 The six and one Diesel. 401 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:42.279
