Doctor dressed as The Joker delivers a baby on Halloween in viral snaps that are both hilarious and creepy
Dr Paul Locus was called up to help his patient give birth a week early on Halloween — when he came dressed as The Joker
A DOCTOR who dressed up as The Joker for Halloween is pictured delivering a baby — with his creepy costume still on.
Dr Paul Locus wore the Batman villain’s getup complete with make-up and dyed hair for a gag on his patients last weekend.
But he was not expecting to have to help pregnant patient Brittany Selph give birth as she was not due until the following Sunday.
Dad Justin said: “Brittany woke up Halloween morning to her water leaking.
“Not wanting to make the other children Brenden and McKinley miss their Halloween parties, she elected to get them off to school.
“Finally we went to the hospital around 12:30pm, and Brittany’s Doctor, Dr. Paul Locus, came in to meet with us and check things out.
“That’s when we found out he was dressed for Halloween that day as the Joker. We couldn’t help but laugh.
“My wife, being the open-minded woman with a sense of humour, thought it would be hilarious to have such a unique delivery.”
He said of one of the viral snaps he took: “There my wife is, staring the Joker straight in the eyes while delivering our baby, what a sight.”
Dr Locus even gave the couple a congratulations card for the birth of little Oaklyn, the Nashville couple’s third child, signed “Dr Joker”.
