Babies galore

I'm on call Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon this week.

This means that I'm writing this on a Saturday night, and that I've been working since Friday morning. Hopefully, I'll get to go home sometime Sunday afternoon to shower or something.

Call isn't always pleasant, but there is no denying that it's the time when you get to see and experience the most.

I think at last count, I've delivered around 8 babies. I think... I'm starting to lose track. And the majority of these occur while I'm on call.
And I've seen some very interesting things.

The thing about Obs/Gyn is that it's very truly life and death. The life I was expecting. Babies are born, and it's an incredible event. But I wasn't expecting the ladies who lose their pregnancies, the lady with young children who showed up with inoperable cervical cancer.

This rotation has without a doubt been the best clerkship rotation yet.

The hours can be long, but I bear them with good grace.

Je t'adore. Je t'adore.
