I may have mentioned my fellow intern (Internships still existed in 1962,
and
there were 46 of us at the Minneapolis (Hennepin County) General Hospital
in my class.
This young female physician was pregnant when she started her internship,
but not showing. By the time she did show, she had redeemed herself as
a bright and energetic physician, and the hospital authorities let her
continue
on.
She was, by coincidence, on the OBGyn Service the night she went into
labor, and simply threw herself on a gurney, was wheeled into the delivery
room and birthed a bouncing baby boy. Three days later she was back on
the job as though nothing had happened.
Tough girl!
