A lawyer gets called out for channeling John Edwards:
In his closing argument to the jury, Fieger assumed client Walter Hollins’ character in his mother’s womb, his brain deprived of oxygen as he waited to be delivered.“Doctors, nurses, I’m suffocating. Please help me to be born,” Fieger told the jury. “I want to play baseball. I want to hug my mother. I want to tell her that I love her. Help me.”

Kevin, the link doesn’t relate any similar cases that John Edwards was involved in. Do you have a link for that?

“Referring to an hour-by-hour record of a fetal heartbeat monitor, Mr. Edwards told the jury: “She said at 3, `I’m fine.’ She said at 4, `I’m having a little trouble, but I’m doing O.K.’ Five, she said, `I’m having problems.’ At 5:30, she said, `I need out.’”
Isn’t that how you physicians take it more or less?
