Been there, done that.|
When our place got a neonatologist on call for every c-section, I breathed a hugh sigh of relief.
I don’t think we have shown you, @bachophile , @blondie , or @Frank_W enough gratitude for what you have done.

I get the the doctor got a quiet (possibly not breathing) baby to cry (back to breathing), but I don't get what's so extraordinary about this. Did he do anything that the typical neonatologist (or even the average midwives) wouldn't know how to do?
I don't mean this as a criticism, this is more like acknowledging my own ignorance -- I just don't know what is so extraordinary about what the doctor has done that I'm supposed to appreciate here. :man-shrugging:

Me too. The beginning of wisdom is realizing how much we don't know.

Where are the nurses?
Good observation. Every time I've done this, or seen a neonatologist do this, the nurse had a stethoscope on the chest, and was tapping out the heart rate on the side of the layette.

In my hospital the nurses were at every delivery. But we rarely had the neonatologist; it was the interns that were with us.
