Children in Chitose, Japan
Chitose
1968
I had a beautiful baby boy in an Army Medical Center on an Army base on the northern island of Japan. I was late arriving at the hospital, so only local anesthesia! It was so fast, I didn't have time to hurt! The care was wonderful. I went home the next day, feeling fine, and so happy!

There was only one doctor at the base, so he was it by default!
No. Having a baby in Japan was and is still a wonderful experience.
