A story someone told me Last night, I was having dinner with my dad’s friend Marcus, who is a doctor, when he told me a shocking story that I couldn’t believe. Marcus told me that when he was an interne, a woman came to see him with a new-born baby that she was carrying in her arms. She told him that she had taken a nap earlier in the day, and when she woke up, the baby was staring at her from the other end of the couch. She did not know she had been pregnant. He added that she told the story with a straight face, like it was completely natural. He naturally did not believe her, but he could not figure out why she would make that up. He told me that that was just one of thousands of strange visits he had had. And he advised me that if I wanted to hear all kind of unbelievable stories I should be a doctor instead of a writer!
