She ended with a truly bizarre story, that she claimed was a true (both before and after telling it). She said that her uncle (or great uncle) was a doctor, and was attending to a birth, at his house. His wife was very sick, and didn't have long left to live. She stayed upstairs at their house. Someone else called to him, "Come quickly! Your wife is dying!" He replied that he couldn't come, because he was helping with the birth. His wife died before he was able to make it upstairs. The woman telling this story left it up to the audience to figure out the moral. I guess it was "pay no attention to the dying woman upstairs ... there's babies here".
