Chloe Hughes<\/span>West Midlands<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Paramedic services student Elise Faragher had no idea her routine hospital placement would see her helping to deliver the baby of someone very familiar.<\/p>\n The third-year student was at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital when her lecturer, Aaron Collins, and his wife Lexy, came in to have an elective C-section.<\/p>\n Mr Collins had taught Elise anatomy, physiology, and all about what happens during childbirth.<\/p>\n “I was confused and shocked when I first saw Aaron on the day,” Ms Faragher said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “I thought he might have come to visit me on placement, but I quickly realised that wasn’t what he was there for.<\/p>\n “Once baby Luca had been checked, I tapped Aaron on the shoulder and asked if he’d like to cut the cord – a student doesn’t get to ask their lecturer that question very often.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mr Collins, who has taught Ms Faragher since her first year, and she said they get on really well.<\/p>\n “We have a lot of fun and jokes,” she said.<\/p>\n “Aaron is very caring and supportive, and he has been there to help me gain confidence throughout the last few years.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"University](\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/52b5\/live\/ce721040-ab3a-11f0-9f0c-8d8035e68521.jpg.webp\")
