OB/Gyn

So I'm getting this whole third year thing down and the rotation has picked up. lots of labor triage, ultrasounds, cervical exams, assisting with baby deliveries and c-sections. thank God, hysterectomies were boring procedures to observe. i was assisting with the delivery when the boy popped out and I caught him. the doctor's like, "put the other hand under him and gently stimulate the baby". oh stimulate I did, for as soon as i slightly jiggled my fingers under him a little bit, this 2-minute old was so tittilated that he started urinating all over me. "baby is voiding" yelled the resident to the nurse. yay....! not so much. oh, and i can't' seem to get the stench of amniotic fluid off so i keep changing scrubs but i swear i'm still smelling it when i get home. man, my new air balance shoes have had several close run ins with discharge today. best part is, i no longer have to deal with the mean residents i had on the other service mainly because obstetricians tend to be nice people, i mean, after all, theyr'e constantly delivering bundles of joy. one last epiphany. it's sad seeing the disparity between families here. one room might have a teenager whos confused adolescent boyfriend couldn't be less interested in the newborn or what's going on while the other has the most loving family with the dad doing lamase breathings and kissing the mom the whole time comforting her and sometimes you go from one situation to the other in 10 minutes.
