What a day!
© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008
Early in the afternoon my wife told me that we had to go to the hospital. Contracting too much.
I actually don’t dislike it too much. First it’s a one and a half hour drive to get to the hospital and secondly it gives always some time to talk.
Anyway, her doc was not there, but another doc. Boy, was she out of it: “We can’t find the heart beat because the baby is too small”. Mind you my wife is 22 weeks far.
Talk about creating a disaster: You have a contracting female and you tell her the baby is too small? You can’t find the heartbeat but do not even ask where the baby lays? You tell the patient with a long history of difficult pregnancies that there is no such thing as an incompetence cervix? (Only 12,200 search results from Google). She actually said that the other doctors had no idea what they were talking about.
Don’t worry; neither my wife nor I took her serious. The contractions went down and the baby is doing fine. And I have another day to admire the strength of my wife! Any pregnant female for that matter.
So anyway, I think that over the past few years too many people have become too addicted to machines and what machines can do. Humans and their feelings and/or knowledge get ignored, because a machine knows better.

If you wonder why a hospital so far—that’s where the doc works who delivered the two other ones. Both he and wife are now out of the military and my wife found him via a web search.
