Who was the doctor who delivered you?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

Dr. K.B. Dellett. Ironically, he later became my eye doctor. I always joked that he purposely ruined my eyes during the delivery so he could assure himself of a future patient!

[calico1]

1. His name was John Cosgrove.

My two oldest sisters remember him somewhat. He had white hair and was in his fifties at the time he delivered me.

[Mutley]

2. I have no idea.

I don't think my parents remember, either.

[Hugin]

3. Dr. Wilson.

If you can believe it.

[China_cat]

23. Yes, I can believe it. That was my doctor's name, too.

Western PA, by any chance?

[Hugin]

27. No...

Although, he may have been in different places at different times.

[China_cat]

28. Nah, my Dr. Wilson

barely ever made it to the hospital in Butler, let alone anywhere else. Most of us who he delivered came into the world at home.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. An UPS employee (nt)

[VelmaD]

5. Dr. Truett Crim...

The new maternity center at the hospital in my home town is named for him and his wife. Both my parents worked in the same hospital I was delivered in and he used to tease them that if they didn't pay the bill for the delivery that he'd have to repossess me. :)

[progmom]

6. I have no idea.

I don't even remember who delivered progspwan. :shrug:

18. KAB. Are you getting any hurricane remnants?

We were supposed to, but it is a beautiful day here today. We could use the rain.

[kick-ass-bob]

21. I think we picked up about 1/4-1/2 inch of rain yesterday.

It is all nice and sunny today, and a little breezy.

Perfect weather.

We need the rain too - the trees are starting to change already.

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Here as well. It rained for about 10 minutes yesterday

and it got pretty dark, so I was sort of hoping for a real downpour.

I hate watering the yard. I always forget to turn off the sprinkler and end up with a lake in the front.

[kick-ass-bob]

24. I have no grass. I have noticed some of the dogwoods wilting though.

And it seems that weeds can grow whether there is water or not.
:crazy:

8. Doctor?

I was delivered by a stork.

9. Dr. Bob Wright

My mom worked for Dr. Bob and he delivered my sister and me. He was also my pediatrician until I was about 5 and we moved away.
Some of my earliest memories are tied to Dr. Bob and his office. Everything was always gleaming and made of stainless steel. He had a German wife who was his nurse. He had married her when he was stationed in Germany after the war during the occupation. I hated her. Everything she did hurt and she had little patience with children, which I guess is a major qualification for a pediatric nurse. In retrospect, I think she was a graduate of the Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS School of Nursing (ISWSSSN).
Dr. Bob always smelled like a cross between peppermint and bourbon. Quite the pair they were.

10. Dr. D.J. Ottilie

I think I spelled it right.

[miss_kitty]

11. Dr Tiffin

he was very old in 1954, and older still when my grandma would take me up to his office to show me off.

[displacedtexan]

12. Dr. H. B. Kingsbury.

He drove a big-assed black Cadillac and made house calls. He shot me with penicillin so many times during my childhood that I developed an allergy to the stuff.

[scarlet_owl]

13. Paul Hogan. No, not THAT Paul Hogan.

[bertha katzenengel]

16. no idea, but James McEachen repaired my heart. n/t

[LaraMN]

17. My Mom had a midwife.

Mary Jo Somethingorother.

[Xithras]

19. Dr. Flaim

His son is my primary care doctor today.

[Kellanved]

20. a moron who almost killed my mother

By removing her thrombosis prophylaxis prescription despite having orders to the contrary from his boss. :grr:

[toey]

25. THIS IS HUGH!!11!!

no really, my doc's name was dr. hughes

[Bossy Monkey]

26. Dad, in the bathroom. Hence my first name, John

(Actually, during the Kennedy administration, all Democratic boy babies were named either John or Robert. But the part about where I was delivered and by whom is absolutely true. At least he's really a doctor.)

[m_welby]

29. I don't remember exactly, but 4 days later

the same doctor delivered a little girl (in the same hospital) who later became my wife.

[Done]

34. I didn't get his name.

The only thing I could think of at the time was, "DAMN, THAT HURT". I had just squeezed through a small hole, and I hurt so much that I couldn't stand it. I wanted to yell at somebody, but I didn't know what to say. I didn't even know any words. All I could think to do was yell out, "WAAAAAAAA". So that's what I did.

[BikeWriter]

36. That's a hell of a coincidence. :-)

[bleedingheart]

30. Dr. Mann....he was "the man"

[kwassa]

31. Kevorkian

His early work, before he changed direction.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. E.L. Watson.....

In a little community hospital in Ripon, Wisconsin...My dad was teaching at Ripon College...

My doctor had been a GP before he went into Ob/gyn...my mom didn't think too much of him...

He ignored her puffiness and BP...and I came four weeks early...

:shrug:

[Left Is Write]

33. Sturges.

35. Dr. Tidwell.

[Nikia]

37. Dr. Schroeder
