escort to hospital, no have a ticket

 

Great openeing to the article:

All too often, the congested roads of Greater Boston conspire with the vagaries of childbirth to leave a mother-to-be in a car on the roadside at one of life's most critical moments. A hard-bitten state trooper shows up and morphs into a highway midwife, clearing the newborn's nose and mouth, cutting the cord, and sometimes even saving a life.

This is not one of those stories.

 

I like staties, but I'm not pregnant with contractions going on, or likely to be anytime soon.

 

gee i

 

Well, the statie could have been more sensitive about making the woman open her jacket.

However, driving in the breakdown lane when others are stuck could easily lead to some significant road rage or minimally someone blockling their way so they couldn't continue.

Also, choosing a hospital thirty miles from home for your delivery just because your first child was born there doesn't seem like the wisest choice. According to Google maps, Lowell General Hospital is 2.5 miles from the center of Dracut.

On top of which, the due date being sometime in November, the delivery could easily have been on Thanksgiving eve when travel is at its absolute worst.

So, I guess I'm falling 3:1 in favor of the statie.

 

My dad was a statie for 20 years and I want to be the same when I get older.

 

^^ will you ticket pregnant ladies in labor?

 

I hate staties. They should bring the troop back, then send the staties to Iraq and leave them there.

 

hey this guy made Olberman's worst person in the world list.
