The other day we had a lesbian couple come into the hospital for pregnancy issues. The pregnant woman had a history of seizures which apparently get worse when she is pregnant. We admitted her for observation and to get on top of her anti-sz medications. We also did a fetal lung test to see how mature her baby's lungs are (she was at 36 weeks + 4 days). While talking to her and her wife, she confessed that she had absolutely no idea how she got pregnant. She is 100% faithful to her wife and hasn't slept with a man in years (incidentally she already had 5 previous children). She insisted that it was an immaculate conception. I informed the hospital priest, but apparently he was busy explaining to a patient on the ICU ward that they weren't jesus even though they had "come back from death" after being defibrillated.
PS the fetal lung studies came back immature, meaning if she delivered her baby, he would have died--not maybe, but definitely. The couple tried to convince an OB doc to deliver her anyway, saying her seizures would not get better until the baby is out. My resident explained that no doc in the nation would deliver this baby (very dramatic--it could have been in a telenovela), but they were still persistent. We later found out that her seizures were "pseudo-seizures" or psychological seizures, not resulting from abnormal firings in the brain. I am guessing god would not be happy about her killing Jesus #2....
