Hospital Conflicts

August 21st, 2003 Comments Off on Hospital Conflicts

As I’ve mentioned in the past, my office (my office until tomorrow evening that is!) is in Kenmore Square and from my cubicle window, I have a picture perfect view of Fenway Park (and I’m still not sure why Adam got so angry with me the other night when I saw a news report that teased, “Improvements are being made at Fenway,” and I said to him, “What? They’re going to bring in a winning team?”). I believe I’ve also mentioned that our hospital is just on the other side of Fenway (if I weren’t such a waddling mess and it weren’t 90 degrees, the hospital is actually walkable from my office). I just never put the hospital and Fenway together until this morning, as I noticed for the first time as I was driving to work the new banners on the street lamps in the neighborhood. On them is a picture of a baseball with a Band-Aid on it. Beneath it, it reads, “Beth Israel Deaconess: The official hospital of the Boston Red Sox.” Apparently, this coalition didn’t begin until April–after we had picked the hospital–so I can’t accuse Adam of insidiously trying to indoctrinate Brown Brown into the culthood (yes, it is a cult) of Red Soxdom. However, I will say I’m not real comfortable with this alliance. After all, what happens if Pedro is injured the same day I go into labor? What will Adam do? How does he choose between a glimpse of his hero and the birth of his son? I mean, hey, if we were at the official hospital of the Miami Dolphins, and I had to choose between giving birth or hanging with Dan Marino, I gotta say, I’d probably pick Dan. Luckily, I think Adam is made of stronger stuff than I am.
