"multiracial baby" was family in LDR From: K Dew (kdew@bellsouth.net) Fri Dec 29 06:34:19 2000 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: art fougner, md: "Re: OB: Family in the LDR and the poop hits the fan" Previous message: Carlos Roure: "Re: OB: Family in the LDR and the poop hits the fan" Next in thread: Paul Prior MD: "Re: "multiracial baby" was family in LDR" Reply: Paul Prior MD: "Re: "multiracial baby" was family in LDR" A question was asked why the reference to the race of the baby. >From my fairly extensive experience in delivering mixed race babies where no one except the mother knew that it was a possibility, (sometimes even she didn't know) the sh*( really can hit the fan. I've witnessed fist-fights, some involving the parturient, cursing matches and the whole gamut of possibilities. My last experience was when the parturient, white, suspected that the child she was carrying might be by a black man. Her "white family" was in the room when the baby was born. She had hinted that there might be a possibility of a bi-racial baby to a sister but only after she was 8 cm and +2 no one else had a clue. Then the baby was born. It obviously was bi-racial. The "white family" immediately left the room amidst must cursing and "thing throwing" and the "black family", who were waiting in the wings so to speak, came in the room. I have no idea where they were hiding. It was almost an immediate changing of the guard. The message I'm trying to impart is that emotions can run amuck if an unsuspected bi-racial baby is born. Thanks to our trial lawyers, it immediately becomes the doctor's fault. Jerry Springer has nothing on some of the scenes I've encountered in my delivery room. In fact, I have had two patients on the show at separate times. Both pregnant by their brother or other family member and "loving it" Kevin Dew, MD OB/GYN Bardstown, KY Next message: art fougner, md: "Re: OB: Family in the LDR and the poop hits the fan" Previous message: Carlos Roure: "Re: OB: Family in the LDR and the poop hits the fan" Next in thread: Paul Prior MD: "Re: "multiracial baby" was family in LDR" Reply: Paul Prior MD: "Re: "multiracial baby" was family in LDR"
