Dr. Chris Coppola blogs from Iraq. The latest story is a dramatic delivery of a baby:
After gearing up the team and heating up the operating room, we opened her belly and looked for damage caused by the bullet. The tissue of her uterus was bleeding and she was leaking urine. I carefully opened her uterus, releasing the waters. I felt her baby’s head and quickly unwound the umbilical cord from where it was wrapped around the neck. The baby quickly slid out of her womb.
