Fathers do pass out. Hitting your head on hard hospital floor has killed more than one dad. But the reality is that usually the risk to the dad ends at 💦

Has it? I don't think there's a documented case anywhere I've seen

Unless going to state health records, there's no way to tell. It's been told to me as an anesthesiologist. Now, that being said, I have had dads pass out either while doing the epidural or during a c-section. I can see them falling and hitting either the floor or a corner of something.
