The title of my book,
Careerectional Facility, is a play on words between career and correctional facility― the prison we put ourselves in the quest for career fulfilment by believing there are certain rules and processes that we need to follow to get there.

What
is neonatal jaundice?
Jaundice is the yellowish discolouration of the sclera (of the eyes), skin and mucous membranes due to the deposition of bilirubin pigment. Bilirubin is produced when the red blood cells, which carry oxygen in the body, are broken down.
How common is neonatal jaundice?
Neonatal jaundice is very common in the newborn period and it affects both term and preterm infants. About 60 per cent of all term newborns and 80 per cent of preterm newborns are jaundiced in the first week of life.
