It takes a terrible toll on the doctors to see so many babies die. A friend was a neonatologist in the US Army and he was very very good at it. The military sends a lot of their highest-risk pregnancies to Hawaii with the idea that tropical relaxation will help (it probably does). But that also means that the doctors are dealing with the worst stuff all the time. He did 4 tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and said that his time in Honolulu was far worse emotionally.
