saturday call has been strangely slow– i have time to hang around the floor and read. too bad i didn’t bring a book.

this morning started out fun, though. the resident and i were called out of morning rounds to deliver a baby. yay! i got to deliver my second baby– a big ‘ol slippery girl. too bad it all happened so fast that i had no time to put on booties– i ended up with gunky gunk on my shoes.

then… it was off to the tubal ligation. i have officially sliced a fallopian tube. woo hoo! it’s much more fun than cutting sutures.

luckily, the resident is quite busy, so she sends me off to do random things… like remove staples from a post-c-section belly.

after hours upon hours of non-activity, i was paged for a dilation and curretage for a missed abortion. it’s a 10 minute procedure… so now i’m back… waiting for midnight to start my notes. i’d be on AIM, but the hospital has blocked it. leave me happy comments to keep me company will ya?

in the morning, right before rounds, i scrubbed into a c-section with bilateral tubal ligation. i got to snip off the tubes. i have officially destroyed 3 fallopian tubes.
