Who was the doctor who delivered you? |
|
Dr. K.B. Dellett. Ironically, he later became my eye doctor. I always joked that he purposely ruined my eyes during the delivery so he could assure himself of a future patient!

1. His name was John Cosgrove. |
|
My two oldest sisters remember him somewhat. He had white hair and was in his fifties at the time he delivered me.

23. Yes, I can believe it. That was my doctor's name, too. |

Although, he may have been in different places at different times.

barely ever made it to the hospital in Butler, let alone anywhere else. Most of us who he delivered came into the world at home.

The new maternity center at the hospital in my home town is named for him and his wife. Both my parents worked in the same hospital I was delivered in and he used to tease them that if they didn't pay the bill for the delivery that he'd have to repossess me. :)

18. KAB. Are you getting any hurricane remnants? |
|
We were supposed to, but it is a beautiful day here today. We could use the rain.

21. I think we picked up about 1/4-1/2 inch of rain yesterday. |
|
It is all nice and sunny today, and a little breezy.
Perfect weather.
We need the rain too - the trees are starting to change already. x(

22. Here as well. It rained for about 10 minutes yesterday |
|
and it got pretty dark, so I was sort of hoping for a real downpour.
I hate watering the yard. I always forget to turn off the sprinkler and end up with a lake in the front.

24. I have no grass. I have noticed some of the dogwoods wilting though. |
|
And it seems that weeds can grow whether there is water or not. :crazy:

My mom worked for Dr. Bob and he delivered my sister and me. He was also my pediatrician until I was about 5 and we moved away. Some of my earliest memories are tied to Dr. Bob and his office. Everything was always gleaming and made of stainless steel. He had a German wife who was his nurse. He had married her when he was stationed in Germany after the war during the occupation. I hated her. Everything she did hurt and she had little patience with children, which I guess is a major qualification for a pediatric nurse. In retrospect, I think she was a graduate of the Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS School of Nursing (ISWSSSN). Dr. Bob always smelled like a cross between peppermint and bourbon. Quite the pair they were.

he was very old in 1954, and older still when my grandma would take me up to his office to show me off.

He drove a big-assed black Cadillac and made house calls. He shot me with penicillin so many times during my childhood that I developed an allergy to the stuff.

26. Dad, in the bathroom. Hence my first name, John |
|
(Actually, during the Kennedy administration, all Democratic boy babies were named either John or Robert. But the part about where I was delivered and by whom is absolutely true. At least he's really a doctor.)

34. I didn't get his name. |
|
The only thing I could think of at the time was, "DAMN, THAT HURT". I had just squeezed through a small hole, and I hurt so much that I couldn't stand it. I wanted to yell at somebody, but I didn't know what to say. I didn't even know any words. All I could think to do was yell out, "WAAAAAAAA". So that's what I did.

In a little community hospital in Ripon, Wisconsin...My dad was teaching at Ripon College...
My doctor had been a GP before he went into Ob/gyn...my mom didn't think too much of him...
He ignored her puffiness and BP...and I came four weeks early...

He died a few years ago. His obituary stated that he had delivered over 50,000 babies in his career.
