30 Something Baby Doc

Congrads again to Kelly for completing the bar exam today. Reminds me of when I completed my wriiten boards for medical school, trust me, a 2 day exam is no fun. I just had a wonderful feeling of relief after it was over. I went out to the bars and partied all night...most of it was a blurr. I do remember chucking my glass early in the night and grabbing a pitcher to drink from. I kept the pitcher full of beer all night. When i had to squat on the floor and prop myself up against the wall , I knew I was reaching my limit:-)

Last night was shit.

5pm - I walk on to the L&D unit and all the nurses and running around frantically= sign of a bad night.

530pm - someone sets a trash can in the men's bathroom on fire . smoke fills the hallway and the fire dept is called:-(

6pm -A laboring patient's baby heart rate drops and we have to do an emergency c-section

7pm - a patient with premature twins develops a severe infection, we have to do another c-section

8pm - another c-section

10pm - another c-section....damn

11pm - and laboring patient delivers her baby, but has a sever shoulder dystocia (shoulder gets stuck)

you get the picture.....it continued like this all night long...we had to divert patients to other hopsital because we were under staffed and overloaded.

I was hoping to get some work done on my case list last night, but I guess I'll have to do it tonite. The initial deadline is august first, but I don't think i'll make it. The weather's great tonite too, I'd like to be out and about but works got to get done;-(. I'm off tommorrow so that should help.
