It prolly happened when they were all on vacation together, and here she is, with his parents. I kept making excuses for the paramedics to keep the boyfriends parents from coming back in. She needed a little time to grasp the situation and figure out what she was going to tell them.
She was a decent girl. I figured her mom should be one of the first peeps to know, not her boyfriends parents, so I got her a phone to call home to another province before I left the other 'rents back in.

In our ER all pregnant women with bell ypain go to the ob floor to be evaluated. I had one who came with mom and mom was one of them older god fearing black women. To see the look on the girls face when I told her she was preggers was priceless. So we worked her up and I had to get all the staff up to speed that shes not in ob
in case mom asked. Fortunatley she came back quickly and we discharged her. I even made up dummy discharge papers to show her mom.
My other best response was I told a girl she was pregnant and she askeed how did that happen. Now aresponse like that just beggs for a sarcastic response, sadly she was too stupid to realize it
