1. We are probably going with CPSI

2. Any L&D's using CPSI computer charting?

6. What's the weirdest baby name?

   ourhouse51 replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   17 years ago, EMS brought me a 40'ish female with a baby on her baby. She thought she had a "tumor" that was falling out after church....went in and laid down. When the pain became unbearable, she called her husband in, he flipped up her dress tail...
