just took my surgical exam and passed (not so much with flying colors, more like w/ weepy, crawling colors....what does that phrase even mean?). but whatever- i'm officially done w/ my first rotation and moving on to OBGYN starting monday.
i'm scheduled to be in a hospital, so i'm not sure if i'll get routine clinic days with gyno stuff at all, or if i'll be strictly labor and delivery. it should be cool either way. i know this hospital takes med students and residents and stuff, so my involvement might be limited to seeing what i can from the head of the table during births or catching the dads as they pass out or something. we'll see.
one of my professors said in all her rotations the goriest thing she ever encountered was a vaginal birth. and that her job was to examine the birthed placenta for missing pieces/tears, # of vessels, etc. everyone else in the room was fawning over the new pink baby w/ tiny baby features and that just-born new skin smell and she was poking at the veiny, slimey alien-like lump of tissue.
so that will be fun.
celebrating my anniversary this weekend. it's been a while since i've had any time w/ my husband. i'll have to practice pronouncing his name right before we go out to dinner- that could be very embarrassing. maybe i'll bone up on current events so that i'll have something to talk about other than blood loss and clostridial infections. not that those don't make excellent dinner conversations...
