...after too many miscarriages. It looked like my youngest brother was going to have to be delivered by C-section, and Dr. O told mom if she wanted to have a tubal ligation he would "call in his partner, and then turn his back while it was done." As it happened, my brother finally turned the right way and was delivered normally, so my dad got a vasectomy in 1957.
Mom spoke of Dr. O with great respect for his caring ways. He was also a Roman Catholic -- one whose religion guided him to treat his patients with compassion and according to their individual needs.
