Inter-Departmental Medical Cooperation

One of the funny stories I heard on Christmas Day was a story from the delivery room of a Florida hospital. Here's the story:

A woman who was to be sedated and unconscious during delivery requested that her baby's first cry be recorded so that she could listen to it afterward. A recording device was set up, and all went according to plan, until one person, who apparently did not know about the recording, or had forgotten, said, "It's a boy, and he's just as ugly as his mother."

Ohhhhhh. AWWWKWARD! Urgent damage control needed.

Before the mother was given the recording, someone hurried to the nursery to record a baby crying, and the original recording was deleted. The doctor who told us the story summed it up by saying it was a rare and shining example of inter-departmental medical cooperation.
