Very immature, premature infants can’t breathe on their own, so we take over that function for them, we breathe for them, usually through an endotracheal tube that’s been put in at an outside hospital. We take over their breathing and keep it controlled. Sometimes infants don’t need to be a complete intubation. All they need is CPAP so we can take over and just do that for them. On the end of the unit, we have a blender. We carry both air and oxygen. Very premature infants need oxygen, but they don’t need too much oxygen. Too much oxygen can be bad.

from DD season 4 Synopsis: “Arlene Dickinson, “Marketing Maven.” We meet Arlene by the pool at sunset at Casa Dickinson, overlooking the ocean in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. “It’s a lifetime away from Arlene’s frugal days as a single mother,” says the narrator. Arlene was born in Germiston, South Africa, near Johannesburg. Her father moved the family to Canada for a better life, but she says they grew up poor. “We had absolutely no money because my parents had given up everything that they possessed in order to emigrate to this country.” She takes an emotional trip back to her parents’ first home in Calgary, where she lived till she left home at 16.

How am I going to be able to manage this?” Her big break came from getting a marketing job with Venture Comunications, later becoming a partner, then …
