Early one morning I received a call from a medical center that we do occasional unscheduled transfers for. The ER nurse rather frantically stated that they had a pregnant female that was crowning and they needed to get her to another facility. The nurse wanted to know our ETA. I gave her 15-20 minutes as we are 15 miles away. She repeats the time back to me and I hear in the background "I'm calling 911!" The nurse said she would call right back. After waiting ten minutes, I went to sleep.
 
LOL! I would have went back to sleep right away. HEHEHEEE Crowning...little late to transfer in my opinion!

I wonder why the ER was freaking out about a birth? It must have been a bad presentation. Was this some kind of weird hospital?

Private hospital, medicaid pt?
 
Happens quite often in private EMS with medicaid patients. We've also had patients transferred from the nice hospital in the burbs to a great urban hospital in Detroit because of insurance.

No OB in this hospital
 
Well... my personal opinion - I prefer that my rig remains life-neutral - no one born, no one dies in my rig! If we are going to deliver a baby... I'd much rather do it in the ED with them helping, then package the patient(s) up and transfer them. I really don't want to have to deliver a baby in my ambulance.

It's not the delivery that i hate...it's the clean-up.
