Update on a fun, busy hospital day.

As I posted before last week was a very busy hospital where my group and I were just trying to play catch up with our hospital visits. Well, Friday was by far the busiest and collect days we have had at the hospital. It all started with us getting to the hospital at 745 am to sit in on an urology surgery (the little boy I had mentioned in the previous post). Well we get there and there are 3 other groups also there for the same surgery. So we pile into the OR and try to see everything that was going on. Luckily, the doc was using a camera probe so we could see everything on a tv screen. It was very cool!! The surgery only lasted about 45 mins and the baby seemed to be doing much better. After that, we all thought we were done for the day until the doc told us that in the next OR the ob/gyn is going to be performing a c-section; I immediately jumped at the chance to watch because I am becoming very interested in ob/gyn. I quickly raised my hand, because only 5 people were allowed to go in, and I luck out and became one of those 5. Let me tell you it was the coolest thing. The actual birth of the baby was very quick because there is a time limit for how long the baby can go without O2. So I am proud to say that I got to see the birth of a full-term, breached baby girl! It was insane! After the c-section, we snuck back in with our first doc, the urologist, and watched him perform a TURP would explain it but for the weak stomached, I'd rather not (just think, male anatomy, lost of tubes, probes and lubrication). It was a cool surgery but very long. After that surgery it was about noon and we were dying to eat before we went to our peds rotation. We quickly grabbed some KFC in town and then headed back to the hospital for peds. It was a great rotation, kinda bumming cases, 2 kids with malnutrition and acute gastritis. So I am now at a dilemma...which do I chose: peds or ob/gyn?? I know I have lots of time to decide but it is just so crazy that I have been so gungho about peds all this time and now I am just not sure. Anyways, that's my little hospital update for today. Other than that it's been a pretty boring weekend. Went to dinner with the girls Friday night to French Verandah again, the food is so good there. Other than that, just study study study!!
