B.D.: “The BC’s of the Nordyke twins should of been typed out on the same day at the same hospital if he was born there. Why all the differences?”

---

I was kind of thinking about this yesterday. The document we see for Obama and the Nordyke twins are not the documents that the Hospital would generate - at least I don’t think they are. The reason I say this is that the Hospital generates a true Birth certificate that includes weight, footprint, and other vital info which is not part of these documents. But none-the-less, these documents are signed by the mother and doctor. So they could be done by the hospital or maybe another, more administrative body? I don’t really know exactly how this worked in 1961 but there does seem to be quite a delay between the birth (Aug. 4) and the mother’s signature (Aug. 7). This is true in the case of Obama and the Nordyke babies.

The Obama and Nordyke COLB's were generated by the HDOH, not the hospital. I know the BC's I have in my house have all been generated and provided by the state, not the hospital. In fact, I have never been given a hospital generated BC, neither for me nor my son. I don't doubt that the hospital maintains medical records, but that is a completely different thing than a state generated BC.

The "8/7/61" is in the same handwriting on all three BCs.
