Nurse finds grandma's 1965 Texas hospital booklet with strange post-delivery advice: ‘No car ride for 21 days'
A recent discovery made by a US nurse has sparked widespread amusement online. While going through her grandmother's belongings, Traci Clark found an old hospital discharge booklet from 1965, which she quickly shared with her followers on Instagram. The clip, which has since garnered over 1.2 million views, has left many questioning the surprising medical advice given to new mothers half a century ago. (Also read: 'Eerie green flames' come out of manhole after explosion in Texas college: 'It was freaky') In the video, Clark explains, 'We're going through my grandmother's stuff, and I just found her discharge instructions. She was in bed 327A.' The booklet, a three-page document, had been issued to her grandmother after giving birth in Houston, Texas. Clark reads aloud some of the instructions, which range from perplexing to downright bizarre. 'When the baby is 21 days old, you may take a car ride. How were they supposed to get to the hospital before that?' she asks, puzzled by the outdated advice. 'And then, I don't know what this is—118 days old, they may drive a car? Could they drive a car before that? This is so confusing.' Clark also points out another curious recommendation: 'At 21 days old, you may walk up and down the stairs. How was she supposed to get into her house before that? This is awful.' But what truly took the cake for Clark was the suggestion for physical activity. 'This is my favourite—special exercises: sleeping,' she said, laughing. Take a look here at the video: A post shared by Traci Clark RN, BSN, OCN, PHN (@poppielady) Clark's post has sparked a flood of comments, with people reflecting on how far medical advice has come in the last few decades. One user remarked, 'At least they emphasised rest, now they expect you to go back to work like nothing happened.' Another chimed in, 'This is 10x better than the current hospital instructions, which are: 'Come back if you die.'' (Also read: Who is Thomas J Henry?

Another added, 'I was shocked to see how little guidance was given compared to what we have now.'

Kidnap and murder of Bankstown mum linked to partner's alleged drug gang ties, police say
The 45-year-old mother of two who was kidnapped and killed in Sydney's south was targeted due to her partner's alleged links to drug manufacturers, police have revealed. In one of Sydney's most disturbing killings, Thi Kim Tran was kidnapped from her Bankstown home by a group of up to five masked men last Thursday night. She was stripped naked and forced into the back of a dark SUV at gunpoint. Her body was later found in a burnt-out vehicle in Beverly Hills, about 6km away from her home. NSW Police said on Tuesday that Tran's partner was allegedly involved in an Organised Criminal Network (OCN) based in Victoria — a group believed to be responsible for large-scale drug manufacturing. Detective Superintendent Joe Doueihi said the quantity involved was more than just tonnes, but a considerable amount. At the time of the horrific crime, the man was interstate in Victoria on a work trip for the group. Doueihi said he was known to police for minor drug-related offences and had allegedly been working with the network for several months. Police believe a conflict between the man and his superior in the network may have been the motive behind the brutal killing. Following the revelations, Victoria Police raided an alleged drug lab in Springdallah on Saturday, where they seized items consistent with the manufacturing of methamphetamine. No arrests were made from the raid, and while Tran's partner has not been charged, he is cooperating with the investigation. The couple's two children remain in hospital under police guard, with the younger boy expected to suffer lifelong complications as a result of his injuries. The eight-year-old was struck with a baseball bat by the group of men, and police said he had done nothing to provoke the attack at the time. He was placed in an induced coma following surgery. Doueihi said Tran and her two children 'had no knowledge' of the man's involvement with the group. With no known family members in Australia, police are now working to contact Tran's relatives in Vietnam. Doueihi added that while most members of the group were 'mainly Vietnamese males', there was no evidence linking them to wider South-East Asian crime syndicates. 'These offences are clearly targeted offences … against innocent people,' Doueihi said. 'This level of violence against innocent family members is rare and unprecedented.' Police are urging anyone who witnessed the crime or has information about those involved, either in NSW or Victoria, to come forward.
