bloody everything
it’s the 1st day of ob/gyn, and i’m tired. i swear, babies pop out every few minutes down on L&D — it’s quite exciting. it’s also quite bloody, and quite loud. one lady screamed so loudly that you could hear her down the halls.
i noticed that they didn’t do episiotomies on any of the women today– quite unlike the last place i was at, where i’ve not seen a delivery without one. and… the kids over here are HUGE compared to the ones i’m used to working with.
i spoke to one nice lady, who followed each question that i asked with: “you mean on the streets? or in-carceration?”
i scrubbed into a c-section for a intrauterine fetal demise patient. poor woman took the thing to term and suddenly … it just stopped moving. argh.
and lastly… yay for my last nicu rotation! apparently, “clinic” is chock full of maternal diabetes and we were asked to read up on it… good thing my last ppt presentation was on diabetes in pregnancy! woooo! and… i had a PIH patient today– and survived the pimping because another of my nicu ppt presentations was on PIH! wooooooo!
i’m on call tomorrow. no woo.
