Last month, according to the newspaper, Wong was at work when she saw a second-year pediatric resident in blue scrubs near one of the incubators. She asked him who he was.
When the doctor told her his name, it “sounded very familiar,” she told The Mercury News.
“I kept asking where he was from and he told me that he was from San Jose, California, and that, as a matter of fact, he was a premature baby born at our hospital,” said Wong, 54. “I then got very suspicious because I remember being the primary nurse to a baby with the same last name.”
When she asked him if his dad was a police officer, their special connection immediately became clear.
“There was a big silence,’’ she said, “and then he asked if I was Vilma.’’
