I'm an obstetric nurse at a large city hospital, where our patients are from many different countries and cultures. One day while waiting for a new mother to be transferred to our division, I checked the chart and assume that because of her last name, she was of European descent.
So when she was finally wheeled in, I was surprised to see that she was Asian. As I was performing the exam, we chatted and she told me she was Chinese and her husband's ethnic heritage was Czech. After a short pause she quipped, "I guess that makes my baby a Chinese Czecher!"
