It’s not something that needs medical intervention, necessarily, because there’s nothing that can be done, and most live through it. Also, until shockingly recently, the medical field assumed (or maybe hoped?) infants can’t feel pain.
Turns out they can, though.

Every inch of your body’s skin being hardened and cracked to the point nearly every surface nerve is exposed and raw doesn’t seem that bad?
What does seem bad to you?
If you still believe in a god, google ‘Harlequin Fetus’.
If you don’t, don’t. Seriously, don’t.
‘Three words that made me an atheist: Paediatric Oncology Ward’.
I can’t remember who said that, but it’s spot on.
If you didn’t vote, you voted for this. This is a representative democracy, and voting is the absolute least you can possibly do.
You don’t get out of your civic duty by abstaining – you’re implicitly supporting the winner by failing to do the bare minimum. You’re doing far worse if you uttered one sentence to convince others to abstain with you, which many, many did.
Unless you live in a literal cave, you’re complicit.
Good job everyone who advocated for 3rd parties or abstained because this ghoul was ‘the same’ as Biden or Harris. I hope you’re sleeping well that razing Gaza is the same as not doing that.
Great work. Perhaps you’ll get a discount on the new trump branded resorts they’ll build on that land, which we fucking warned you he wanted to do years ago.
I’m done trying to warn people. You won’t fucking listen so I’m wasting my breath, and these ‘I told you so’s just taste too bitter.
Wake me when you’re ruffling the ashes of your own countrymen from your hair (or don’t, because I’ll be seasoning your egg salad with what’s left of my bones).

With all due respect, newish Lemmy users won’t become mods or create communities with that attitude.
Everyone is new sometime. We need to make it easy. (Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy.)
That’s cool, and I was amongst the biggest Apollo fangirls on the planet, but just because Apollo jumped off a cliff doesn’t mean you have to.
This particular bit of design is not ideal.
I’ve been designing UIs on iOS, Mac, and Windows for decades, and this is confusing.

Great, thanks. I love all the customisation features Voyager has!
I still don’t understand all the green shields after every commenter’s name, though.
Thanks!
This is what I’m seeing:
It’s not a username colour – that would be ideal. It’s a green shield badge.
e: you said: ‘In addition, for admins, both local and remote it changes to red with or without a checkmark inside of the shield as a signal on what actions can be performed by admins on a given piece of content’
I have no idea what you mean by this. We were talking about username colours, and that made sense, though I haven’t seen that. Now we’re on checkmarks, which I see, but doesn’t make sense. Does that make sense?
I wouldn’t change anything except the assumption in the overall medical field that infants can’t feel pain. I don’t know much more about this specific condition, but I have a different condition in which they assumed infants can’t feel pain, and they were wrong enough that I still have trauma from that.
Take any medical knowledge from 20+ years ago that sounds horribly painful with a grain of salt, because that was the assumption relatively recently. Some doctors who learnt medicine more than 20 years ago still think that.
