In reply to the discussion: Man punches nurse for removing wife's burqa during c-section [View all]Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)Each room had a little wooden crucifix over the bed, so a delivering mom could look up while pushing and see a little 7 inch tall Jesus being crucified. Seemed odd to me, actually when we toured the hospital during the pregnancy and filled out the forms, they assured us they would take it down.. happens all the time, they said.
Well, whatever... when the big day came, for whatever reason, 7 inch tall Jesus was still there. Not exactly the pinnacle of cultural understanding and tolerance for my Jewish wife and me, the unbeliever.
So, naturally, I beat the crap out of the staff, because, you know, that was the rational thing to do, especially since they could have done a much better job of understanding and accomodating our needs.
Actually, that's not true. I barely even noticed, and didn't give a shit, since I was focused on my wife and making sure both she and my baby were healthy, which is what this asshat "father" should have been doing.
Oh, and it was "as bad as having her be topless".. what the fuck does this clown think the birth process entails? I remember our MALE doctor sitting between my wife's legs like Johnny Bench, with at least as explicit a view of her as I've EVER had... funny, though, I was somehow able to control myself and not, say, punch him in the face.
This isn't the hospital's fault. I don't think we should be making any excuses for this shitwit.
