Woman in labor notices doctor is acting weird – Then looks down at his feet and freezes in shock

Those nine months of pregnancy are pretty memorable and exciting part of every woman’s life because that’s when she gets to prepare for the big arrival of her child. Even though many mothers-to-be fear the actual act of delivering the baby, the doctors do everything in their power to ease the labor pain using kind and encouraging words along with the epidural. However, one woman from Las Vegas, Alex Sims, shares her story and it gives us chills. What was supposed to be one of her best days of life, turned into an awful experience. When she arrived at the Sunrise Hospital, she was told that Dr. Frank DeLee would help her deliver her baby. Unfortunately, they soon realized the doctor was intoxicated. Alex’s mother said how she could smell alcohol in the doctor’s breath. That was pretty concerning, knowing he was about to attend a delivery. During a conversation with his staff, he told them how he had just got from a bar straight into the delivery room.
“I smelled alcohol,” Sheree recalled. “That’s what preceded the conversation about him coming from the bar. Because I said, ‘Oh, he smells like alcohol.’”
When Alex started complaining how the epidural started wearing off, the doctor started calling her names and didn’t do anything to help her with the unbearable pain she was experiencing. That’s when the mother took her phone out and started recording the whole thing. Those who have seen the footage were shocked. No one could believe that a doctor on the job could act like that. His behavior was unprofessional.
“Wasn’t that many people in the bar when I left,” he told one of the nurses. “I’m sorry. Did you waste a drink?” she asked.
The most shocking of all is that doctor DeLee was wearing shorts and was barefoot which can be clearly seen from the footage.
“I kept telling the doctor, ‘I can feel everything. I think the epidural wore off,’” Alex recalled. “And he’s like, ‘Oh just scoot your fat ass down,’ and, ‘Oh, I bet you wish your doctor would have came back in town.’”
“It was just jaw-dropping,” she said later. “I just couldn’t fathom why all this was going on in the midst of me having a child.”
Alex is now suing the doctor for negligence. The nurses are not spared because they are the ones who should have intervened once they realized the doctor was drunk. She and her mom want to make sure he won’t hurt any other woman in the future.
“Someone needs to be accountable,” she said. “And I just feel like, if I don’t speak up for my child, who will?”

Hilarious (But Real) Exchanges Between Pilots, Flight Attendants, And Passengers

If you are looking for some fun, we guarantee you these exchanges between pilots, flight attendants, and passengers are going to make you laugh. The great thing is that these are real conversations that have been heard and shared by people. Enjoy! 1. A pilot who was a little too honest. On a Continental Flight with a very “senior” Flight Attendant crew, the Pilot said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your Flight Attendants. 2. A flight attendant’s friendly reminder. On landing, the Stewardess said, “Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you’re going to leave anything, please make sure it’s something we’d like to have.” 3. This flight attendant who had a pretty good point. There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane” 4. This airline that was keeping it real. “Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.” 5. This pilot who was keeping it even realer. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a Flight Attendant on a Northwest flight announced, “Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted.” 6. Couldn’t agree more. From a Southwest Airlines employee: “Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 245 to Tampa. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don’t know how to operate one, you probably shouldn’t be out in public unsupervised.” 7. Good thing I was always the favorite. “In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite.” 8. Perfect. Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we’ll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines.” 9. Who doesn’t love freebies? “Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and, in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments.” 10. Amen. “As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.” 11. 🙁 And from the Pilot during his welcome message: “Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best Flight Attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!” 12. Can’t argue with this one. Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt lake City: The Flight Attendant came on the intercom and said, “That was quite a bump, and I know what y’all are thinking. I’m here to tell you it wasn’t the Airline’s fault, it wasn’t the Pilot’s fault, it wasn’t the Flight Attendant’s fault. It was the asphalt.” 13. Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, “ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what’s left of our airplane to the gate!” 14. Practice makes perfect, right? Another Flight Attendant’s comment on a less than perfect landing. “We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.” 15. Little old ladies are the best. An Airline Pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The Airline had a policy which required the First Officer to stand at the door while the Passengers exited, smile, and give them a “Thanks for flying our Airline.” He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, “Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?” “Why, no, Ma’am,” said the Pilot. “What is it?” The little old lady said, “Did we land, or were we shot down?” 16. I may have been on this flight. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the Attendant came on with, “Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we’ll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.” 17. Always. Part of a Flight Attendant’s arrival announcement: “We’d like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you’ll think of US Airways.” 18. The best one. A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the Captain made an announcement over the intercom, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax… OH, MY GOD!” — Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the Captain came back on the intercom and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the Flight Attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!” A passenger in Coach yelled, “That’s nothing. You should see the back of mine!”

Home Depot Employee Saves Child And Gets Fired

A man from Portland, Oregon, was recently fired from his job only because he acted upon the belief that he had to step in and offer help to someone in need. Yes, you’ve heard that right, Reagan is now left without an income because he did the right thing, and we are outraged. While working at the Home Depot, Reagan and his co-worker heard screaming coming from the parking lot. They didn’t hesitate to approach and see what was going on, when they realized it was a violent domestic dispute between a husband and a wife. Reagan told KGW:
“At the time, the only thing I was thinking about was the child’s safety,” said Regan who worked at the Home Depot for four years. “I stepped outside and sure enough, there’s this lady whose frantic and crying, ‘Somebody help me, please! He’s stealing my kid, he’s kidnapping my child!”
Once they informed the police about the incident, Reagan was asked to follow the suspect until police arrived. And that’s exactly what he did. He followed the man for three blocks.
“There was any number of twists or turns that he could have taken once he got off the premises that the police wouldn’t have known where to look for him. I think I did the right thing,” Reagan told ABC 6. “I broke the safety violation of leaving the store premises while on duty.”
After the police came to the scene, Reagan went back to his post. But instead receiving a praise for his brave action, he got axed.

“It was still the right thing to do,” Reagan said. “I was kind of in a catch-22 situation, I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t.”
However, once the manager and the Home Depot got the news from the local news stations, they quickly reassessed their decision and figured out they did a mistake.
“This is a very complex situation, so we’re taking another look at the decision,” they told KGW.com. “We always want to be certain that we’re treating any associate fairly.”
Eventually, they issued the following statement.
“We took a second look at this and have let Mr. Reagan know that we’ve decided to reverse our decision, based on the circumstances. We always do our dilligence to make sure associates are treated fairly, which we’ve done in this case.”

But Reagan is no longer interested in the job. We really hope he will soon find another job in a company where he will be respected.
“We should be doing the right thing regardless of what company policy is, regardless of what the consequence is,” Regan told KGW.com. “What’s good and what’s right supersedes what’s policy and what’s orders. Hands down.”

Manager Going Viral After Act Of Kindness For Disabled Boy

To be honest, not many people understand what it feels like to have a child with Down Syndrome. These children are adorable, sympathetic, and have a lot of love to give, but they can also be challenging at times. That is why people should be considerate of their condition and embrace them, instead of looking at them as they are different. Jay is a 10-year-old boy with Down syndrome who enjoys spending time in the local Tesco supermarket.

What makes him happy is walking around the place and chatting with the customers. But what he is most thrilled about is the store’s counter. It looks like he can spend hours looking at the lights and the buttons, and listening to the sounds. His father David, told BBC News:
“If you have a child with a learning challenge or a challenging behavior then you know just how traumatic it can sometimes be when out in a place like a busy supermarket.”
Source: David Burke Jr./Facebook
He loves taking his son with him and uses every minute of his spare time with his son, but as he says, “going shopping with a child with special needs can be difficult.” The sad truth is that what makes it difficult are the people who are judgmental and stare as though they’ve never seen a person with a Down Syndrome before. David tells the story about their latest shopping experience, when Jay stood in front of a closed check-out lane and refused to move. He pretended to be an employee there and had fun, while David was trying to get him out of there, he was so into the role that he didn’t listen to his father.
“I was trying to get him out from behind the till, but Jay decided he wanted to work at Tesco that day,” the father later revealed.

As David felt uncomfortable because of all those people looking at them, the store’s manager James approached and did something truly amazing. He opened the aisle so that Jay could check out his family’s groceries for real.

Wow, this was so huge for Jay who was really excited to be behind the check-out counter.  “A massive well done to the staff,” said David.
“Jay was thrilled to bits. “ “He felt like a worker and it just warmed my heart to see how focused he was and how much he was enjoying himself.”

Apparently, this wasn’t the first time for the staff of Great Horton Tesco to show kindness to the young boy. David told BBC News:
“Everyone there always makes a huge effort into making shopping that bit easier for us.”

People were happy to see what the manager did, and once the footage of the kind deed was shared on YouTube it was seen by a great number of people who praised the manager’s action.

This guy got divorced and wrote his ex-wife’s new lover a note – I totally agree with him

Divorce can be really devastating. It’s a complex process after which two lives are deeply affected and changed forever. And no matter the hatred between the now estranged couple, there is still one part that will care for the well-being of the other, even if we don’t like to confess that. Adam divorced his wife and how shared an eye-opening letter for the person who will love his wife after him. This is definitely worth reading. “To the one who loves her next, She’s terrified of spiders. So when you’re out late with friends and she texts you freaking out because there’s one on her window, please go kill it. She won’t sleep otherwise. She is a total textbook introvert. She won’t reply for hours and sometimes you won’t see her for a week. You will take this personally. Don’t. She’s simply taking care of herself and she’ll tell you how much she missed you while she was away. She’ll get very jealous. My god, she gets so jealous. Those brown eyes will turn a deep green. She hates that about herself, and she doesn’t mean to do it. Remember, she loves you. Reassure her that you love her too. On that topic, she needs constant reassurance. Tell her you love her and mean it. If you can’t do that, leave. She deserves more than that. There will be nights when she goes out and drinks a little too much. She’ll call you to bring her home. When you do, she’ll try to keep you up all night by tickling you and repeating “I love you and I’m sorry I’m annoying.” She’s not annoying. But make sure she has plenty of water and don’t let her pass out until she drinks it, or she will be miserable in the morning. She is the most independent woman I know. But she’s so insecure, it still breaks my heart. So when she starts an argument with “you don’t love me.” Do not get upset. Remind her you do and the reasons why. She’ll come around. The cat comes first. Always. Don’t ever think otherwise. Make her tea and remember the way she takes her coffee. She will notice. When she’s having an anxiety attack, wrap her up in your arms and rub her back. Tell her she’s safe and remind her that she has medication if she needs it. If you cannot treat her like royalty, let someone else. That girl deserves the world. Losing her is a pain you will never shake. Your world will come crashing down on you and those pieces won’t ever fit the way they used to. Don’t let her go. She will love you with all she’s got. Please give her the same. I am begging you to not hurt her. She is golden. Don’t let that shine die out. Give her your all and she’ll return the favor. You will never have to ask the universe for anything ever again. From, A name you’ll hear in passing.” Adam’s words have the power to make you feel the need to tell your spouse how much you love them, and how much you care. Please share this letter with your friends.

Fed-Up Wife Shares The Hilarious Reality Of ‘Man Flu Season’

Men are considered to be strong and tough, but it seems it’s like that until they catch a cold or a flu. That’s when they act as though they are on the brink of death. Women on the other hand get furious because they know how their spouses and boyfriends are simply overreacting. This topic has become so widespread that there are lots of hilarious memes online that compare men and women while having flu. And while females pick themselves up, visit the doctor, and then move on running all the errands, males can’t get out of bed, and they look like their world is crumbling down. One wife has had it enough, so she decided to share her husband’s “Man Flu” story with Love What Matters.
Facebook/Strollin With My Homies
She recalls the hilarious situation that took place a couple of years ago when the whole family contracted the flu. Although she was pregnant, it didn’t stop her husband, Ty, from having a breakdown.
“I’m sitting upstairs right now and both toddlers are downstairs with my husband and nasty colds. You know what that means? The ‘man flu’ season is coming. It might not even be the flu, it could just be a cold, but he’ll treat it like the plague because it happens every year like clockwork. Just as sure as the sun rises and sets, I can count on him to be completely useless for a solid week if he so much as sneezes. Throw it back to 2014. I was about 9 weeks pregnant with Cora and Sadie was 6 months old. From the moment I woke up, I was violently puking all day. In the car. Out of the window. During our errands. I was miserable and nauseous but worked through it because #MOMLIFE. I honestly thought I had killer morning sickness or possibly a stomach bug so I went with it. Then 6 p.m. rolls around… it was definitely not morning sickness because I watched my husband transform right before my eyes, stumbling around saying he’s going to puke. Grreeeeeat. The moment he says he’s feeling sick, my eyes automatically roll into the back of my head and touch my spine. Instant dread. Stage 1: Give this man a chance. Try the sweet approach. ‘Ok babe. You’re going to be fine. Just go to the bathroom and try to relax.’ Did he take my advice? Nope. First stop is our kitchen sink. He pukes all over a week’s worth of dirty dishes. He’s obnoxiously loud when he’s barfing to make sure I know this is the real deal. The neighbors know it’s the real deal. The next town over knows too. Cue me hating my life.”
Facebook/Strollin With My Homies
Sydney’s “kind approach” quickly went out the window when she stepped into the bathroom and saw what he had done.
“Stage 2: This is the actual worst and I’m going to kill him. ‘Seriously Ty?! Go into the bathroom!! Why would you do that?! It’s like 5 feet away and the garbage can is RIGHT HERE.’ He starts waddling to the bathroom and I breathe a sigh of relief. Thank God he’s in there, maybe he’ll pull it together. PSYCH. He’s being so noisy and dramatic with his heaving that I have no choice but to check on him and pretend I don’t want to murder him. I walk in and encounter vomit. Everywhere. But not in the toilet folks, nawwwww. In the bathtub. The freaking bathtub. BUT. WHY. Stage 3: There’s no turning back, he’s committed. He lays on the floor with his eyes closed and starts moaning ‘Syd. Syyydd. I can’t. I can’t see.’ Brain: Oh Jesus so now he can’t see? Is this a joke. He has a flu symptom that doesn’t even exist. Actually, I can’t. I should probably leave. Where is this dude’s mom? ‘What are you even talking about?! That’s not real life!! Open your eyes. We don’t have time for this. GET UP. NOW. RIGHT NOW.’ My voice was really serious at this point. He knew he poked the bear way too hard, or so I thought. He took the alternative route and decided to become unresponsive. Yes. Literally. He played dead like a possum. I’m standing over him about to puke myself and he starts whispering: ‘Syd… Call 911. Syd. I’m dying… call 911. Call 9…1…1…'”
Rather than fight her husband’s pleas, she decided to call his bluff! The ambulance was coming, whether he was really on his deathbed or not.
“Stage 4: This man just told me to call 911. Hold the phone: You want me to dial 9-1-1 and say what? My grown husband has an upset stomach? He stops responding to me AGAIN and mumbles incoherently. He’s rolling around like a pig… in his own barf that’s everywhere but the toilet. I decide to try and call his bluff. ‘Do you need me to call 911?? We just have the stomach flu and I’M PREGNANT. I’m tired. You’re telling me I am going to pick up the phone and say this is an emergency. You know they’re going to actually come here RIGHT? Right? I’m gonna do it. I’m dead serious.’ He was sick for maybe an hour, tops, at this point. He’s a first responder. He’s the father of my children. He’s my best friend. He’s a combat vet. He’s a devil dog. He’s a biiiiigg baby. And then I made the dreaded call. Dispatch: 911 what’s your emergency? Me: Ugh. Hi. How are you? Ughhhh. It’s my husband. He’s. I don’t know, he’s umm… He’s throwing up. Dispatch: …Ok? Are there any other symptoms? Me: He can’t see. Or talk. Or move. He’s basically unresponsive. Dispatch: Any chest pain or shortness of breath, ma’am? Me: (whispering into the phone) Oh God, no… he has *the flu* Now I’m mortified because I just called 911 for the man flu. I tell him help is on the way. He fully grasps what I’ve done and says, ‘No Syd, wait. seriously wait. I think I pooped my pants.’ ‘Scuse me? Stage 5: I just called 911, someone pooped themselves, the countdown begins. I morph into Bambi’s father. ‘Get up Ty. GET UP! You MUST GET UP! Dude, the paramedics are on their way and you pooped your pants?! You’re NEXT TO THE TOILET?! Why wouldn’t you poop on the toilet?! Why are you doing this to me?!’ I’m panicking because I know I’m about to be embarrassed. I start trying to pull down his pants while he lays like a corpse. No luck. Then a lightbulb clicks in his head… He realizes there’s a really good chance he’ll know one of these paramedics and he miraculously found the strength to haul his butt to our room to change. The paramedics get to our house and I’m standing there with the worst case of resting bitch face. EVER. They ask him what his symptoms are and I’m dying to call him out. Guys, it’s like an angel came down from Heaven and cured him right there on the spot. All of a sudden he could talk again. He could walk again. He could even see again like a Christmas miracle. They proceed to tell me I need to follow behind them to the hospital because he was going via ambulance. For the flu. That I gave him. I drive my pregnant butt alone to the hospital while puking in a plastic bag with my husband in front of me on a stretcher being doted on. It’s the first and last time I’ve ever considered divorce.”
Facebook/Strollin With My Homies
Once they reached the hospital, the doctor wanted to monitor Sydney because of the flu and her pregnancy, so she stayed at the hospital. She really hated to be spending the time there and was thinking how to get even with her husband.
“Stage 6: Nurses are the bomb I finally find his room and I’m throwing up while answering questions for him because he’s back at it again playing possum. He isn’t answering anyone and the nurse spotted that man flu [stuff] from a mile away. We made eye contact and nodded. Solidarity. She’s all, ‘SIR. GET IT TOGETHER. YOU NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?’ And I’m all, ‘THANK YOU, JESUS. SING IT, SISTER.’ They find out I’m with child and decide to admit me as well because, apparently, the flu is usually only dangerous for pregnant women, elderly and newborns. Now I’m livid. We get our IVs. The nurses keep coming in to give me the ‘I’m so sorry’ look. The nod all women know. When someone says their man is sick we take a moment of silence for each other. United we stand. We were finally sent home and he’s trying to chat it up in the car like nothing happened. Nothing to see here folks. That heinous act of horror wasn’t real. But it was. I have to go get the baby from my parent’s the next morning because he’s too sick (I’m still sick with what I gave him). I was up all night and I come home to what? Stage 7: A whole lotta NO. A fresh batch of puke that ain’t in the toilet. I was positive the dog also pooped in the house. Sure didn’t. That would be my husband. Again. Just to remind me how sick he was, he re-offended the house while I was gone. I made him wear one of those bird flu masks and didn’t talk to him for a solid 3 days. I locked myself in our bedroom until he was ready to come back to Earth. To this day, it’s still a touchy subject in our house. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we cringe. But I told him one day I would share this story, maybe to help another family in need. So women won’t feel alone. If you think your hubs is the worst when they get sick, come and read this again for a reminder. Beware… the man cold and flu season is near. This could be you.”
This story makes both Sydney and Ty burst out laughing whenever they recall that afternoon. We hope it made you laugh too. If yes, share it with friends.

Local Moms Come Together to Give Her Son Halloween A Day Late

Mother Laura Mazza is just like any modern mother out there. She is constantly torn between her job and her kids’ needs. Somewhere along comes her social life and other responsibilities as well. Even though she tries her best to balance everything she is expected to take care of, her kids sometimes feel as they are not put on the top of her priorities, and that might be really devastating knowing how hard she tries to provide a happy life for them. But, things don’t always turn out as expected. Here’s what happened on this Halloween.
Facebook/Mum on the Run
On the 31st October, she was away on business and was expected to get back home right for the trick-or-treating. Unfortunately, her plans fell and she felt overwhelmed knowing she wouldn’t get on time to give her son the Halloween he deserved. She shared her story with Love What Matters. However, it appeared that the Halloween her son was about to get would the best one so far, so her flight delay turned to be a blessing in disguise. All she needed to make her son’s day a memorable one was the women’s power, and the help of the local hero moms.
“I want to tell you how beautiful women are. I promised Luca weeks and weeks in advance that we would go trick or treating. Leading up to it he was so excited, and we looked at costumes we were all going to wear. We have always loved Halloween and I’ve loved it since watching it in movies… An opportunity for me to work came up and I flew interstate for the day. I promised Luca the night before that I’d be home in time to trick or treat. Flights were delayed, traffic was crazy, and I got home to find him asleep in his costume waiting for me. I ugly cried. Bloody Mom guilt, right? I felt so terrible. I knew he wouldn’t have cared but I wanted to keep the promise to him. I hated broken promises as a kid.”
Facebook/Mum on the Run
Once she got home, she searched out a local women’s group on Facebook and had one thing to ask from them and that was to simply open their doors on November 1, when she planned to take her son out for a make-up Halloween. She told them how she would buy all the sweets, and all they had to do was put them in the boy’s bucket. But, what she didn’t expect was for that many mothers to offer to help her to put the plan forward.
“Immediately, I was flooded with messages from mothers saying they still do and have lots of chocolate and goodies left over, some even saying they’ll put their decorations back up. Everyone appreciating the feeling of the guilt I felt and wanted to help. I grabbed some bottles of wine to hand out to those moms and we went trick or treating on the 1st of November. I explained to my son at each house how caring each person was to do this for him, and that he should learn from their kindness and do the same and that kindness like this should never be taken for granted. One mom even went as far as to dress up so that my son would get the full experience. I have been in tears all day. Happy and emotional tears. They didn’t just do it for my son, they didn’t just teach him that humanity is beautiful, but they taught me that in motherhood, you’re never alone, because other mothers will always have your back!”
Facebook/Mum on the Run
Laura’s son had the best Halloween, and this mother is happy she could give it to him all thanks to the considerate mothers. This is just another example that mother’s love is the most powerful force on Earth. Good job moms, we are proud of you.
