With the touch of the hand

In this episode of House, the creepy
doctor gets touched by the fetus he
is about to operate on. Earlier in the
episode he refused to call the unborn
child a baby and insisted it was only
a fetus.

I have watched a few episodes of House, largely because this "creepy doctor" reminded several of my friends of me. I must admit that I was able to see some similarities.

I did not see the particular episode you describe, but it reminds me unfortunately of an incident perhaps ten years ago when I came upon a terrible accident which had just occurred.

I saw an infant that had been thrown from one of the cars. I rushed over. The baby appeared to be unscathed. I did not move her. She gripped my finger in her little hand. Then she died.

I am told I screamed. I don't remember that. I still dream of her now and then. I wish that would stop. Strange how quickly bonding can occur.
