My older brother was delivered with forceps. He lived for a week, and never made it out of the hospital. My parents sued the doctor, and his license was revoked.

^That's very sad. My condolences.

Well, thank you. Since he was my older brother and only lived a week, obviously I never met him. But I know my mother, 50 years later, still thinks about him and remembers his birthday.
