Yeah. As part of a mandatory Physical Therapy internship, I got into the Obstetrics session of the Uni hospital, aiding in labor and delivery.

And it is painstakingly common to see the dads acting aloof, dismissive or distant, claiming they are tired or simply not even being present.

And that results in 21 year-old undergraduate me being called "A Real Man" for trying to be present for the moms and do my job, even though I had no interest in Obstetrics and, for the most part, just wanted to go home.

Got bitten in the hand during a contraction once, too.
