And it wasn’t a routine birth either:
Vincent worked with Dr. Dieter K. Gunkel, an adult cardiologist from Savannah, Ga., to deliver the baby. When he was born, he was blue and wasn’t breathing or moving. Vincent started chest compressions and Gunkel did mouth-to-mouth breathing until the boy “pinked up,” Vincent said.

Ok, what’s going on here? In the past few months, I have started to hear of pregnancy as lasting “ten months.” From different sources.
Now this article refers to a woman at 32 to 36 weeks of pregnancy as being “nine months pregnant.” She”s more like 7 to 8 months pregnant.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Well done!
It is good to hear that doctors have the cajones to pitch in and help in a crisis. Certainly there is no reason to do so beyond ethical integrity and being of service in a time of need. Why, I suspect that if Crim was choking on his tongue after a few big words some lowly allopath in the back of cattle class would even risk giving him or her a little mouth-to-mouth.
Criminallopath is too busy attempting to bring light to the oligopolistic practices of the “do no harmers” (referring to their pocketbooks and social status) in Illinois that are trying to stifle competition from the Wal-Mart type walk in clinics as well as brining light to the three criminallopaths in California that bilked insurance companies of $30 million secondary to their rent-a-patient surgical scam.
