Yeah I read the article. It is very like an episode of house though, were a baby grasps house's hand whilst they are doing an inutero procedure.

Amazing that they can do those types of ops, and who knows maybe the baby would grab out if not anaesthetised, they certainly move about a lot at 21 weeks.]]> Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:45:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28532&PID=765066&title=unborn-baby-grabs-surgeon#765066 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28532&PID=765013&title=unborn-baby-grabs-surgeon#765013 Author: Paws

The pic and op are actually legit, snopes did verify it, it's the hand reaching out that is false.]]> Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:02:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28532&PID=765013&title=unborn-baby-grabs-surgeon#765013 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28532&PID=765000&title=unborn-baby-grabs-surgeon#765000 Author: cuppatea

It's a gorgeous picture but I hate to tell you that while the picture is real the story is fake. The mother and baby where both anesthetized...the hand flopped out and the doctor put it back in... Check out the info here...

it doesn't change it being an amazing picture though. ]]> Thu, 03 Sep 2009 18:49:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28532&PID=764988&title=unborn-baby-grabs-surgeon#764988 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28532&PID=764981&title=unborn-baby-grabs-surgeon#764981 Author: kriss

Not sure how old this is, but received this email today, amazing!!

Please read before viewing picture - it's worth it! A picture began
circulating in November. It should be 'The Picture of the Year,' or
perhaps, 'Picture of the Decade.'

It won't be. In fact,unless you obtained
a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably would never have
seen it.The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel
Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph
Bruner.The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if
removed from his mother's womb.

Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an
obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical
procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville
, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the
womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and
makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr.Bruner completed the
surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully
developedhand through the incision n and firmly grasped the surgeon's
finger. Dr.Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped,
it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant
during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph
captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the
picture, 'Hand of Hope.' The text explaining the picture begins, 'The tiny
hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's
uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor
for the gift of life.'

Little Samuel's mother said they 'wept for days'
when they saw the picture. She said, 'The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't
about disability or an illness, it's about a little person.'Samuel was
born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. Now see the
actual picture, and it is awesome...incredible...and hey,pass it on. The
world needs to see this one! Don't tell me our God isn't an awesome
God!!!!!



edit because i suck at links lol
