Dog delivery, troubles the veterinarian

Dr. Marcus Greene prepped for his role in assisting Laura’s delivery, checking her vitals and reviewing X-rays. He wanted to make sure everything was proceeding smoothly, but he couldn’t help but notice Mrs. Thompson’s worried demeanor. “Mrs. Thompson, I understand your concern, but I need your help. If you stay calm, it’ll help Laura relax, too.” Mrs. Thompson nodded in agreement and began to gently stroke Laura’s hair.

Laura started to unwind, little by little. Mrs. Thompson’s simple reassurance proved pivotal in facing the anxiety that lay ahead.
