Man delivers baby, thanks to YouTube

KUALA TERENGGANU: A man, forced to be midwife for his wife in the car, safely delivered their baby – thanks to tips from Youtube. The relieved wife, Siti Norhayati Hambadely, 29, said she was thankful her 50-year-old husband cared enough to scroll through the Net for information and visual tips on child delivery several months prior to the delivery.

All this happened because there was no doctor at the clinic they went. Also the couple claimed a nurse had refused to attend to Siti Norhayati and had turned them away.

 

I feel that nurse should be sacked or hope she get knocked down by a car and nobody help her out.

Two-headed baby born in Indonesia's Riau province (With Picture & Video)

Medical workers at a hospital here are taking care of a male baby who was born with two heads on a single, undivided body last Thursday. Syafitri, an Indonesian baby born with two heads, sleeps in a Jakarta hospital Aug.10. The 4-day-old baby girl weighs 7 pounds, 450 grams.

Dr Rasul Alim M, director of the Puri Husada Hospital here, said the baby is actually a Siamese twin who could not be separated medically. It has two heads, a body with two arms, two legs, one pair of kidneys, one pair of lungs, one anus but two hearts.

"This is the very first Siamese twin birth that has ever happened in Indragiri Hilir district," Alim said about the baby of Badrun (33) and Nurhayati (23) from Belantararaya village who was delivered by caesarean section.

The hospital was on Friday packed with local people who had heard about the birth of the "strange" baby and wanted to see it.

The baby, named Syafitri by her parents, is breathing with the assistance of a machine to ensure that enough oxygen flows from her one heart to the two heads, Channel NewsAsia reported.

Currently the baby's vital organs are functioning normally and is in no immediate danger, although doctors are concerned about other complications from her complex condition.
