When my mother was close to giving birth to me the doctor left her, on a gurney, in a hallway to move his car so he wouldn't get a parking ticket. He told her to cross her legs and don't push. The cord was wrapped around my neck, which he already knew. Once he left, a midwife who was working with the doctor told my mother to push and I was born in the hallway. The doctor did not come back for 15 or 20 minutes and was angry that I had been born. However, if that wonderful, wise midwife had not delivered me it is very likely that I would have had brain damage. There are some that think I do - LOL!Cartoon provided by: Reader's Digest
