I know that we have posted this image before—the birth of our son Michael.   But I don’t think we posted the actual magazine article. The journal Hospital Physician chose this photo.

The obstetrician, Carmel Cohen, MD, was struggling to deliver Michael because a shoulder got stuck  (“shoulder dystocia”) and that’s why his gown was falling off.  I stood there planning to take pictures, but I was frozen in place due to the drama.

The last resort procedure would have been to fracture his collar bone; but then Michael popped out and reached to the sky. And then I tripped the shutter.

Some years later we went for a bike ride and Michael crashed into a parked car.  So he got to break his clavicle himself.
