A cutesy short public entry for the sake of novelty
So they are shooting this reality series for discovery health at the clinic. Its cute, the camera crew is funny sorta half in the way all the time bunch of people. Camera guy, sound guy, a woman who makes people sign papers and another who sat under the mango tree all day today and im not sure what she does. So I guess they were impatient today with no births after their arrival and they wanted to make some drama stuff for the sake of the ratings i guess. Midwife 911 type stuff. So they caught me between draws and asked me the answer the phone when they dialed the office number and say something like this:
"Miami Maternity Center... Yes?... Yes... How far apart are the contractions? Ok. How soon can you get in? Perfect, we'll be ready for you."
then run out of the room like my pants were on fire. I told them I couldn't do it with a straight face. Fake a reality show. ha. The births would be real and the pateints are real, but the midwifes are all too experiences to freak out and make good tv. So they got Ulle, one of the midwife students to do the phone and I got to call in and do the other side of the conversation.
"Hello... This is Jon... My water just broke and I'm experiencing contractions... about 8 minutes apart... I'm in the next room, I'll be right over...
First and last time you will ever hear the statement, "This is Jon" attached to the statement, "My water just broke."
