Night Shift, Sunday-Monday

I stayed up until 5 am on Saturday/Sunday night in hopes of getting adjusted to a night schedule faster, but I ended up waking up 4 hrs later anyway so it was all for nothing. I did have an on-and-off nap that lasted 2 hrs, but it wasn't enough. Our night shift started out all right; got a few H&Ps off the bat, but most, if not all, of the deliveries went to Dr P b/c she still needed the practice. The Yellow team told us about a woman who needed her vulva examined b/c there were "blackheads" down there? "Were they moving?" asked Dr. D (implying crabs). "No," the other person replied. Sometime around 10, we were given the opportunity to order something from Olive Garden, so I got 2 appetizers (and I wonder why I've gained weight on this rotation?) For the most part, this was the most laid-back night ever in L&D. Even Dr. D marveled that she rarely had the luxury to sit down and eat without rushing. Dr. C also found Trichomonas from a patient and showed it to Anita and me. We saw it moving, but I didn't see any flagella (didn't look close enough). The sleepiness didn't hit me until around 4 a.m., when I laid my head down for a quick nap, and at 4:30 we were dispatched to the floors to count charts. I did 3 postpartum notes before we were allowed to go to lecture, where again it was hard to stay awake (but I tried). And later tonight I get to do this all over again.
