The phone at the nurses station began ringing breaking the quiet on the Ward. "Labor and Deliery," Nurse Elsie greeted as she answered the phone. As the person on the other end began giving her information about an incoming patient. She quickly wrote it all down before hanging up. A pregnant male who was near term had been in an altercation and was being treated down in the ER. Because of the stress of his encounter and because he was so close to term the ER doctor was recommending he be admitted for observation and possible induction.
"We have a pregnant male heading upstairs," she called out to a couple of orderlies as she walked down the hall. "Make sure Room 3 is ready for him," she added as she continued down the hall to find the doctor on call and get them caught up on this newest patient.
