First Day at the hospital

Considering we needed to be at the hospital at 8am, it was an early eager morning.  We arrived at the hospital, split up into our two groups, Team OB and G - Marc and Lucas and Team Surgery-  Stef and Dean.  We went to the unit, met the head of the unit Dr. Singh and started by doing rounds.  We bounced around a few docs in the morning and saw some interesting cases; gestational diabetes, so much pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure due to pregnancy), a lady just having had a stillbirth :(  , a giant uterine fibroid, and heaps of really really really pregnant women with palpable uteri.  As well as physical exams, we saw a doc insert a prostin E2 tablet into a women's vagina to help relax(ripen) her cervix (sorry if that's too much info).  In the afternoon, we worked with a doctor at the OB&G clinic and went through countless patients.  All in all, it was a relaxing first day getting more comfortable with the people and hospital.   Unfortunately, none of the women in the ward went into labour so we didn't get a see a delivery, patience marc, patience.  You can bet we left our number at the nurse's station though, with simple instructions to call ANYTIME there was some action, I truly hope to be woken in the middle of the night.  The doctors promised we would be assisting in any procedures which only added to my excitement.  Anyway, I've got some homework to do tonight (research pre-term labour) so I'm off to eagerly hit the books, as nerdy as that sounds.  Until later.
