"Twenty-five years. Six deliveries. Countless stories. This patient and I share a history that goes beyond the standard doctor-patient relationship—it's been an incredible adventure.
We’ve shared some of the most dramatic and unforgettable moments, like racing to a delivery in Livingston (and getting caught speeding!), or her infamously signing herself out of CRMC in active labor just to make it to my birthing center riding around in my small 2 seater car. I’ll never forget the small towel she laughed at me for bringing to cover my seats in my desperate attempt to avoid a ‘blood bath’ in my car as I zigzagged through the streets of Cookeville. We then took a hilarious selfie in the birthing tub when she was 9 cm with my snorkel just before i dove in the water to find her baby lol.
Ive always felt that she is so calm when she delivers her baby that she has got to be a professional— almost as if she does this for a living lol . We also have faced a serious life-threatening challenge of a severe COVID infection during her last pregnancy and despite her adamant desires to go home and refusal to be admitted to the hospital, she finally listened to me that “its time” to deliver her baby or she might never live to see her beautiful children again.
Through all of these years, our bond has become stronger than ever. And I am just happy to watch by the sidelines and see how her family and life has blossomed to where it is now!! And may God bless her husband because she is a handful !!
