Doctor About To Give Birth Helps To Deliver Another Mother’s Baby
A doctor who was about to give birth jumped out of her bed to help bring another woman’s child into the world instead after her baby became distressed.
Dr Amanda Hess rushed to the rescue of Leah Johnson in Frankfort Regional Medical Center, Kentucky, when her own doctor was on a break.
She did so after overhearing nurses saying that Ms Johnson, who was completely dilated, needed to give birth instantly.
She recognized Ms Johnson, whom she had performed a check-up on days before, and delivered her healthy baby daughter.
Ms Johnson later described Dr Hess as “pretty amazing”, and added: “I feel very lucky she was there and the type of person she is and stepped up to do what she did.”
Dr Hess, a doctor in obstetrics and gynecology, later gave birth to her second child, Ellen Joyce.
Both mothers and babies were reportedly doing well — and Dr Hess was expected to take eight months for her maternity leave.
