remind me never to have twins.....

"you're just going to feel a lot of pressure" said the OB soothingly to the mother, right below she stuck her arm up to the elbow into the woman's uterus a la James Herriot to remove the 2nd twin who was of course, breech. the baby was delivered, with difficulty, in a huge gush of blood, butt first.
it was at this point that my medical student turned as green as the scrubs she was wearing and had to leave the OR. poor thing had never seen a delivery before and i am pretty sure after seeing that, will never have sex again.
