Labor and delivery nursing is one of the best areas of nursing to find humorous stories because new fathers and/or staff always respond to the birth of a baby with very rapid responses.  That, in retrospect, makes for a lot of good laughs.  One night in a very large birthing center, an expectant father came rushing into the triage area where one of our Traveling Nurses was the triage nurse.  The father was screaming that his wife was having their baby in the taxi outside and needed help NOW!!!  The Obstetrician on-call at the time, heard the commotion and came running.  The expectant father screamed the same message to the physician.  The physician ran out the birthing center doors to the parked taxi outside.  He quickly opened the door and jumped into the back seat with a woman.  He was prepared and ready to deliver her baby!  The woman had a horrified expression on her face as the physician bounced into the cab with her.  As it turned out, there were three taxis parked in front of the birthing center doors.  The physician had jumped into the wrong taxi.
