Deliver a baby in an emergency

For those of you who have never viewed an actual child birth, be forewarned. It is a miracle. It is not pretty.

This public domain tutorial has plenty of shock, but its intention is to instruct, not offend. Officer Bob North is played by real life Dr. Heinrich Beernink, MD of Berkeley California. Teaching normal citizens how to deliver a baby is the true motive of this film.

Truth is, at first I doubted the authenticity. Then, I Googled the cast and crew. This is not a fire drill, or a dramatized event. It is the real thing.

I would love to hear your observations on this tutorial.
