First I must admit that I did not witness this, but heard about it the night it happened. Thought you all would get a chuckle.

They took a laboring mom to the OR for an urgent c-section. One of the nurses told the father to grab the blue pack on the counter and put the scrubs on, so that he could join his wife in the OR.

Well a couple of minutes passed by and he showed up at the nurses station wearing his socks, a la Risky Business, and the gown that our MD's wear for deliveries. He was holding the bulb and the face shield and asked one of the nurses what he needed to do with those. Apparently he had opened the OTHER blue pack on the counter (our vag. delivery packs that we use to set up our tables).

After she picked herself up off the floor from laughing so hard she had him turn around so that she could tie his gown up. That's right, he didn't have it tied and his boxers were blowing in the breeze! She had him just stay in that little outfit, so that he didn't miss his daughter's birth, but was quickly summoned to change back into his clothes later. :chuckle

That would have been a site to see. I'm sure that will be a story for the ages. At least he wasn't late for the birth.
