Almost a month ago we told you the story released by a recent father who generated great debate over the absurdity of the case. His wife was offered to make skin with skin in her baby's cesarean delivery and then they were charged in the hospital bill. Of course, numerous voices were raised to defend a contact that is a natural necessity for the mother and the newborn that should not involve any economic cost.
Upon receiving the bill, he was surprised that he had been charged $ 39.35 (about 35 euros) for the "service". Now they have come up a fun initiative to recover money: sell your baby's hugs.
Hey Reddit I'm the dad who was charged $ 39.35 to hold my son at the hospital. Here's my kid in his new favorite shirt.After the news was released, there are those who gave an explanation to that additional charge arguing that since it is a major surgery intervention, an additional health professional is needed to manipulate the electrodes and probes of the monitoring and monitor the mother and the baby at that time of skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth.
In any case, although the hospital explained the charge to the father, he was quite upset that they had been charged and apparently, they will not do it again. As the father said in an interview with The Telegraph, "I have friends who work there and have been told that they will never charge anyone for this again."
Hugs at 39.95
Before anyone puts their hands to their heads thinking that the baby is being used to earn money (that some have done), it is worth clarifying that it is a joke of the father with which he has certainly been very successful.
After the commotion created by the charge that had made him the hospital, he thought that a way of settle the matter with humor, was to design a body for your baby with the legend "free hugs $ 39.35" (free hugs $ 39.35) currently available at Cafe Press.
So far, nobody has paid because really the idea is not to charge for the hugs of a baby, logically. But the idea is hilarious.
