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.
Best picture ever….
Amazing photo, wonderful story. Thank you for publishing this (again) B
