From the Graham Center – this month's "one-pager:" Family Physicians Make a Substantial Contribution to Maternity Care
I still meet new patients who are amazed that I deliver babies .. um .. well .. I assist in the delivery of babies .. um .. well .. perhaps it is better said that I attend deliveries .. since the mothers are the ones doing the deliveries .. and (one hopes) the fathers/partners/significant others are assisting … yes .. attend is a good word for the for the physician's role.
Ideally, there is rather little for a physician attending a delivery to do aside from making sure the little one doesn't hit the floor on the way out.
