Paid the birth fee using bitcoin at the clinic, by accident.

[Viscore]

Congratulations!

That's an unexpected yet surprising and happy moment for you. Your wife gave birth to your child and then the doctor had that little logo on his shirt which had given the idea that he's a bitcoin investor.

Well, for me, I wouldn't still wear any bitcoin logo in the public. I'm aware that this incident could also make us find out the other bitcoin holders and investors but I'm more worried about a wrench attack.

Probably the doctor is aware of that but he just ignored the possibility of being attacked. But i would say congrats mate and also kudos to this good doctor who understands your situation and accepts bitcoin payment without hesitation. However, it could not be a loss for the doctor because he knew that bitcoin could be more expensive in the next couple of years, so accepting as early as today could be a smart move.

[teosanru]

This really is insane can't even imagine doing this in my country . I think you must name your child with something related to crypto he is actually in this world thanks to crypto but yes he must have been a very enthusiastic investor or bitcoin maniac having accept his payment for the delivery in Bitcoins. I think this might advocate other doctors and hospitals to start accepting payment in bitcoin as well.

[UmerIdrees]

I was thinking the same too as normally we need to pay to the hospital and not the individual doctor. Maybe the doctor was the head/owner of the hospital and he had the power to allow payments in cryptocurrencies.

Yeah OP said the doctor was the owner, but even then usually you still have to go through the normal practices, since especially with medical facilities there's laws about accepting payments, and insurances etc. Obviously, this is a private hospital, and in a different country so I'm not truly familiar with the process. There's also the issue with taxes, and stuff. Since the owner has to pay his workers, taking payment not on the system seems weird.

As I said and I apologize in advance that the Thread that I made is not good and also incomplete because I am in a hurry, and it is not a hospital, like a clinic or midwife practice where there are only one or two assistants.
and it's private property, and also not accepting bitcoin payments this is just a coincidence and he helped me in a confusing situation because I don't have cash and an ATM machine or from a crowd center very far. And most importantly because my wife doesn't want to be away from me even if it's just to an ATM, so I applied for payment using bitcoin after I found out the doctor was involved with bitcoin.

No need to apologize dear, we just asked this question as it was clear that any government hospital would not allow such payments, and the doctor who gave you this favor must own his own private clinic. 

By the way, you can give advice to the doctor that publically he can announce or write in his clinic that bitcoin payments are accepted. This might help him to gain more popularity.

Dude, congratulations for having your first baby in the family! The feeling is definitely surreal- being able to take care and see your child growing up is an experience that is worth everything. Make sure to properly take care of the family and keep your obligations intact for a stable and healthy upbringing process.

Anyway, it is just truly beholding to see the development of cryptocurrencies over the years. Before, its released was frowned upon and lots of people criticized its decentralization aspect. But now in this day and age, you will find it rare for a person if they do NOT know about the existence of BTCs- in fact, many have already started integrating it into their financials and payment methods.

Again, congratulations for your family and may this experience bring you further closer!

[smartaction]

Congratulations to you and your wife for giving birth to a healthy child. And thanks to the owner of that click and to the doctor who took Bitcoin as their fee at this bad situation. This is truly a wonderful story that I have never heard or seen before. After seeing this, my interest in Bitcoin increased even more. I'm really surprised

[Zilberia]

First of all I'd like to express my huge congratulations to the father and wish you and your newborn child to be wealthy and healthy
I think it's a great story about the importance of crypto in nowadays and it's direct influence on our everyday life. You'll never know when you get caught in the situation like this when the crypto is probably the most unexpected way of resolving the problem but it's also the one of the most easiest ways of it.

In any case, the main thing is that the events in this story you told ended well and bitcoin had an important place in this. I don’t even know how everything would have developed if you didn’t have bitcoin or refused to accept it as payment. But I’m sure that this would certainly create unnecessary troubles or difficulties for you and your family at such an important and crucial moment. From my observations, similar stories are liked by crypto community (including myself) when bitcoin is useful and comes in handy at times of need. This gives hope and confidence that bitcoin has a use (we know it all here for the most part) and value, not only as a currency, unlike those who prefer to hate bitcoin.

[taufik123]

An event that will certainly not be forgotten, Bitcoin becomes a very useful payment tool when you don't have cash.
Also happy with the safety of your wife and baby.

But don't you have a little documentation in the form of photos or videos when the incident happened or take a photo of a doctor wearing a t-shirt with the bitcoin logo. Or proof of payment transactions to the doctor.
This thread would be even more amazing if there was any evidence of this happening.
but once again congratulations on the birth of your baby boy.

[mia_houston]

The moving story about the bitcoin emergency last night has helped me, last night my wife gave birth to my first child at 02:45 at one of the nearest clinics about 500 meters from my house and at that time I didn't have any cash, which I actually had prepared for ATM birth fees.
because the ATM is far from my place and I immediately took my wife to the clinic and all I thought about was my wife's safety, and at that time I was confused about the delivery fee because I didn't have cash and if I went to the ATM it was very far and also my wife no one to accompany and provide support during childbirth.
and after my wife and first child survived, the doctor took off his robe he wore a t-shirt with a small bitcoin image and spontaneously I asked if the doctor was involved with bitcoin and he said yes. And then I rubbed my chest and I said can I pay all the birth fees in bitcoin and I ended up paying in bitcoin about 0.007 or about $210.

sorry if my words are not good and also incomplete because this is my first experience paying using bitcoin by accident and it doesn't mean the clinic accepts payments using bitcoin but coincidentally the owner and he himself is a doctor and happens to be involved with bitcoin.

and my son's name: Muhammad Alvan Khaleed (male) and born on June 2, 2022 at 02:45.

And it's also my first time to create a Thread because of the unexpected and unforgettable experience

a touching event and I think it will not be forgotten for a lifetime, lucky enough you can get a doctor who is indeed involved in bitcoin so that you can fully accompany your wife during this important condition, from the name, I believe if you are a Muslim and I will pray that you and your family will always be in the protection of Allah, Insha Allah, Muhammad Alvan Khaleed will be a devoted child to his parents and may Allah always bestow him with the blessings of health and long life. Amen...!

[pawanjain]

Wow, that is something that I haven't heard in a while. A child being born with the help of bitcoin.
You are really lucky. Firstly, the child was born in good health and your wife delivered the baby normally.
Secondly, the doctor understood your situation and accepted bitcoin as a payment.
Thirdly, the date of birth is also quite matching i.e. 02/06/2022
Congrats brother, I wish you all the best for a new beginning.

[Falconer]

Bitcoin is not only for certain groups, but can be owned by anyone and any profession. It should come as no surprise when a doctor gets involved in the crypto world especially since he might be interested in investing with it. There are many government employees in my country who have been involved in crypto, this is good news but unfortunately we can't pay anything with bitcoin because the government doesn't legalize it as a means of payment.

To the OP, I congratulate you on becoming a father to your first child. Would you be angry if someone called your child a bitcoin child because you paid for the birth in bitcoin? Lol sorry I was just kidding.

Congrats on your new journey as a father. The situation might have undeniably favored you because instead of paying the doctor in cash, he would gladly accept bitcoin as a payment. That's so great of him because he knows exactly your struggle being the only one who will watch on your wife and child. However, i am quite worried since you posted in here those things that needs to be in private. But i understand as you're just too excited to express what you are feeling right now. Maybe just be careful next time.

Congratulations! You may have a nickname for him, which is related to Crypto. May be Nakamoto.

Congrats, dude. This is the first time I heard someone using Bitcoin for such situations like this.
I kinda wished as well that at least a single ATMs was at least within a walking distance, so I could at least buy/sell.
Yo, please edit out the name of your son for privacy stuffs like mk4 replied.

Congratulations mate on your new born child, maybe you can name him/her Bitcoin, blockchain or some crypto-currency team on a light note.  Personally it’s encouraging to see the use of Bitcoin easy the hardships and pain that the everyday traditional system has coursed your story is amongst the many testimonies to attest the relevance of the Use of Bitcoin in our day to day life. I am hope more places acts like the doctor you mentioned and accept the option of getting payed in Crypto-currency for their services.

Its not necessarily for him to put up name which is something related with crypto or bitcoin itself but it isnt really bad considering or connecting into the situation on where he paid up the service via
Bitcoin which is really a good call that the doctor do really accepts that one and this one happened via accident which is totally unexpected but it good that you could really encounter up people
on having this kind of belief when it comes to bitcoin or crypto which you could eventually able to make out some dealings or payment in regarding into their service which is really a good
option to have and not only that hassle free or convenient but it also proves out its utility on real life use case.

You'll never know when you get caught in the situation like this when the crypto is probably the most unexpected way of resolving the problem but it's also the one of the most easiest ways of it.

Wishing the child to be healthy is already enough. That is more important there more than the wealth but cryptos are indeed also important, not because it can make someone wealthy but because there are time where cash are not available or we accidentally left it on our home but most of the times we can carry our phones with us.

We shall not worry because by using only our phone we can now pay someone or something using bitcoins. Not all times there are atm's and also if ever there atm's there is no guarantee that they are functioning and sometimes they also run out of money but we cant experience all of these issue's in bitcoin. Bitcoin is always available 24/7.

[sklopan]

Guys, how profitable is it to use bitcoin now? Given that the rate is now jumping, and many see it as an investment - what's the point of spending bitcoin on buying things?

[Zilon]

Congratulations mate. I think its easier dealing with modern public service operators who has embraced owning their privacy and complete ownership of their funds which Bitcoin has offered and  because it opens up doors to multiple choice of payment the issue of network and poor bank server limitation can also to tackled. I think your baby is quite lucky you embraced Bitcoin before his birth making his delivery look so unique, digital with a majestic decentralized payment on his head

Already the child is being named as Muhammad Alvan. This means something intellectually more valuable. The usage of cryptocurrency have helped in the hardship. Many such incidents might be happening around, and very few get to be known to the world. The world is getting moved with technology and this is a fine example. In the past a doctor doesn't know much about technology, but he masters the human anatomy. Now technology have provided path for everyone to know and get adopted to technology.
