New Year’s, producing babies since…well, New Year’s.
There are days when I wake up with my hair on fire, and I know. It’s going to be an on-fire day. Back on OB service this month. SL is different than other residencies. I am on OB, but family medicine doesn’t stop because of that. I mean, we didn’t go into month-by-month specialist medicine, right?! So, on my month of OB, so far, I’ve admitted a chest pain rule out with a very interesting history, a really interesting small bowel obstruction, and four babies-three of whom I introduced to the world. I have to take a minute, to clarify. The descriptions of patient’s diseases as patients are part of an effort to provide some anonymity while allowing a picture of my day. HIPPA, get it? I hate the thought of only seeing the disease. I digress. This month is also proving to be a very busy OB month. Evidently there wasn’t much going on around New Year’s last year. I know what some plans were because I caught two babies today, and there are four inductions tomorrow. In addition, I was STILL unsuccessful with the amnihook. I’m so thankful there’s at least one box of finger cot hooks at OMC, because the only thing I can rupture with an amnihook is a water balloon in a cantaloupe. I’ve decided it’s very similar. Have you ever tried to pick a ripe cantaloupe out at the grocery? Also, ridiculously difficult. Here’s the good and bad of it. It was so busy the charts still aren’t finished. I saw some great patient’s today. And as much as I hate to admit it, the charts can wait. It’s story time here. And tonight, I get to tell them about mommy delivering babies. They love that.
