Polydactyly

When a neonate I pick up from a referring facility has 6 or 7 fingers normal people make faces and comments about how weird it is.  As a Neonatal Respiratory Therapist I only care that this neonate has more fingers to grip their ETT with.

Plus its kind of cute that when its reaching for its pacifier it looks like its waving at everyone with its many fingers.
