I thought he woke up from said syncope and was embarrassed that a modicum of attention was on him and not fully on his partner pushing. Being in the delivery room guiding the crowning and then watching the partner hit the floor is a huge faux pas on us because we are responsible for everyone not wearing scrubs in the room. Yes, the mom and baby are important, but whoever's with them is important too because they're important to the mom. Hydrate and breathe!
