my son is at the NICU at QMH and if my assumption is correct, the doctors should perform the same # of rounds daily and have some time to meet parents. at QMH they do 2 rounds during the scheduled visiting hours, but only during the 2nd round (around 6-7pm) will the doctor(s) actually stop to answer questions...and even then they only give me 2mins. the less serious the case, the less time they give you - with my 1st daughter they gave me a good 3 mins and she was critical - with my son, i've gotten 30seconds of the doctors time and mostly it's talking with nurses whom i must say tell me pretty much the same thing but in a less "politically correct" way than the doctor. i'd ask the nurses what time they make there rounds and sit there to wait for the doctor - they will answer your questions...just make sure to have them written down so you don't forget what to ask. sounds like a good sign though from the vibe i get - they are very thorough at the public hospitals - so they will not let any stone go unturned if they see the need to investigate -
