Yesterday my team was fairly busy admitting patients and doing H&P's, but not much else. All those women we admitted (and more) gave birth after our shift ended; the Red Team (who's doing night shift) delivered a grand total of 15 babies last night. Their 2nd year resident, Dr. E, deliverd 8 babies, and one of the moms he treated got a 4th degree lac. That must have been a sight to see. At any rate, after doing charts, Anita and I returned to L&D to find the board practically empty. Dr. C was happy about that; she was still tired from being overworked yesterday and a near-empty board was a welcome sight.
Just in case, though, Dr. C called one of the 4th year OB fellows, Dr. M, to come in since the Green team is currently a 2-person team + one intern. Today was a fairly dull day. I got to watch Dr. D do one delivery (and she showed me the correct way to deliver a placenta) and wrote two H&Ps, but that's about it. One good thing came from this day: Dr. M took the time to sit down and teach Anita and me how to tie knots. It was about time we learned, and if I practice enough, maybe I'll be able to sew a lac on my own before this rotation is over =)
