I would be very surprised if a doctor remembered the name of very many of his patients 50 years later. If he did the prenatal visits and delivered the child and it was a very strange circumstance, maybe. Or if he delivered multiple children for that family or had a very small practice where it was a community thing. But if the child was delivered by whoever was on call, I doubt they would even think about the name. Even with the name of Stanley Ann, I don’t think a person would remember that necessarily.
I say that because I taught students for 7 hours a day 9 months out of the year 20 years ago and when I look at unlabeled photos of them I might remember their first name but hardly ever their last name. And that’s only after 20 years and I had the same 20 or so kids all year.
So I don’t find anything strange about a doctor not coming forward and remembering the birth. I’m with you on that one.
It’s actually kind of comforting to know that the medical professionals who have delivered my kids probably have an “if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all” attitude. lol. If you’re still delivering babies I have to say that I envy you though. There’s something so beautiful about birth, in spite of the pain and sometimes problems.
I tried checking to see how long medical records are kept. For some reason 12 or 20 years sticks in my head for a legal requirement of how long they must be kept (can’t remember which). Different people have said in the smaller hospitals they don’t purge the records so there could be records from a very long time ago. So I don’t know what to expect as far as the medical records. But the confidentiality laws would have to be followed on medical records. So it doesn’t bother me that those haven’t been released.
But if Obama was born at Kapiolani as he now claims, there would be a signature of the attending MD or RN on the long-form, as well as whatever prenatal and postnatal records Hawaii required. And if there was a typo or minor mistake Obama would not have been charged a fee to amend the BC.
And if there was a minor amendment there would be no reason to fear a judge looking at it and saying, “Oops. The nurse had a discrepancy in her records and accidentally put Aug 5 instead of Aug 4, when technically the birth was before midnight.” Or something similar.
The reason for Obama to be scared to have a judge look at the genuine documents they have is if there’s something that would definitely seem fishy. Like a birth weight added 45 years after the birth, and no doctor’s signature after he claimed to have been born at Kapiolani.
Obama posting what the HDOH has indirectly confirmed as a forgery is a HUGE tell-tale sign that there is something very definitely wrong with the official records. Since the amendment was in 2006 it was too late to be something with paternity. There isn’t anything on a BC about religion. I can’t think of anything that would be on a COLB that would “embarrass” him to the point that he would rather show a forgery than the real COLB if he had one.
I guess maybe your own experience might not be the only way things might go. Some time ago my high school had a night to honor several teachers. One of them was a math teacher of mine whom I liked, and he liked me I think. This was at least 30 years after I graduated and I had seen him last. He recognized me and I recognized him (less remarkable). He knew my name, and more.

Nor the name barak hussein obama... a common moniker in 1961, I am sure. Musta been a thousand of ‘em born that year...
C’mon....
