"I took a law school class from a professor in 1999 who taught both my parents in 1974, and then was colleagues with my dad in 1979, and shared a last name with all of us though we are not related. It was pretty wild. And my maiden name is not Irzyk."
@NimueSnow said:
"Not nearly as cool, but by a neat twist of fate, the same amazing Perinatologist delivered my youngest sibling, and 18 years later, delivered my youngest child."
@myfourgirls623 said:
"I love this story! My daughter had a similar incident. She is a veterinarian. One day a family comes in with their dog and my daughter recognizes the name. My daughter asks if she is a pediatrician and she replied yes. My daughter was now treating her former pediatrician's dog."
Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za earlier reported that a woman in the US, Folashade, had every reason to rejoice after she gave birth to twins at a time she was not expecting it at all.
On the day before she gave birth, the Nigerian had only gone to the hospital to carry out a routine check as she was 37 weeks gone.
After a doctor in the medical facility, Lightfoote, saw her condition of swollen feet and that her blood was unexpectedly higher, she had to tell her the babies would need to be delivered the following day.
