On Monday afternoon, as Salvador Perez prepared for the birth of his second son, Johan Salvador Perez, he dressed in scrubs at the University of Kansas Hospital. Perez was nervous, he said. He had missed the birth of his first son, but this time, he was ready to offer support as his fiance, Gaby Ruiz, went into labor.
But moments later, he turned around and noticed a nurse standing behind him, shadowing his every move.
The moment confused Perez, but soon, he got his answer. The nurses in attendance were worried that Perez might faint at the sight of blood and, well, if that happened, how would they ever get him off the floor.
