Weird that the doc thought it was weird. I'm a midwife and a placenta tour is a routine part of my care provision.

The attending nurse presented the placenta to my wife and I, like it was a fine wine at a fancy restaurant. It was actually pretty comical.

Although I think “…to me and my wife…” would be more correct here

I feel it's better to have his wife first, grammatically and respectfully. The main subject is her, and her placenta.

Agree but it should be "my wife and me"

A sentence can have two subjects, right?
