This is a 911 call in which one of my former colleagues at Lewis & Clark, Jack Bogdanski, is receiving instructions for assisting his wife in the delivery of their baby. This is absolutely incredible, and I dare you to make it through the whole tape without crying.
I got through without crying. Of course, my wife and I had similar experiences, except ours were planned. I disagree with some of the things the 911 technician suggested, but that’s for another post.
:) Well I have watched birth videos and I have birthed without assistance and a birth is beautiful but I have to admit I had a problem with the 911 operator too. On her back????? Spread her legs apart???? LOL. It sounds like they had a beautiful birth anyway and congratulations to them! Next time they won’t need the 911 operator.

There goes my wife. Always trying to one-up me.
