This week, Dr. Hakimi was able to save a mother and her newborn sons' lives... a few minutes after meeting them for the first time. You may be aware that a woman who has had a previous C-section has a small chance of rupturing her uterus if she elects to have a VBAC, which means to try and go natural this time. Ana & Carlos together, with their group of doctors, decided to try for a VBAC. Everything was going well with Ana's labor. The nurse noted some mild fetal heart decelerations while Ana continued to experience nausea for one hour. The nurse was on the phone with Ana's doctor. All this happened while Dr. Hakimi was taking care of one of his patients next door and discovered what was going on. He phoned Ana's doctor and stated that he believed that Ana was in the process of rupturing her uterus and advised Dr. X that the patient needed an emergency c-section and that he would do the surgery without waiting for Dr X to arrive. The C Section was performed, a ruptured uterus was discovered, and the hemorrhage was brought under control immediately. The picture above shows Ana and Carlos in the recovery area after the emergency operation which had a great outcome. Dr. Hakimi discovered that Ana and Carlos are indeed a very sweet couple. In appreciation of his sharp and quick diagnostic capabilities, they are naming the baby Carlos "Daniel" after Dr. Hakimi. We were honored to help bring your beautiful son safely into the world and humbled by your amazing gesture ๐
