Birth
What was the effort that Andrew persisted in? What was the result?
The doctor laboured in vain for half an hour. He still persisted in one last effort. He continued rubbing the child with a rough towel. He went on ‘crushing and releasing’ the little chest with both his hands. He was trying to get breath into that limp body. A miracle took place. The child gave a short heave. The doctor redoubled his efforts feverishly. The child was gasping and finally came the cry.
