Opening page:
Birth smells.
I’m not saying it stinks—well, to some people, it does. I remember the classmate who finished our med school OB/gyn rotation without ever delivering an infant. He delivered half of the head, and then the look on his face was so horrid that the obstetrician delivered the rest of the baby.
But I was pretty surprised when my obstetrics rotation transformed into a bone-chilling bloodbath.
Thank you, @richardking18 and @cbcHomerun! Stockholm Syndrome is now available at @ParagrapheBooks. I bet Yiddish for Pirates is, too. WOOT. https://t.co/Kr0d3dd0kp
