Monday I hung out with Dr. G for the day mostly watching him and him teaching me lots. he is a grrrreat anesthesiologist and teacher. everyone in the hospital loves him. This rotation is going to be wonderful, I am learning and doing a lot [and i get all the free food and coffee i want :)].
Wednesday we worked in the labor and delivery ward. I watched him do 2 epidurals then I did the 3rd. I watched him do a spinal anesthetic before a C section and I did the next one. Its very different to be in a C section on the other side of the blue curtain. Mom is completely awake and you are talking to her the entire time. and then there's dad sitting on the stool trying to look over and you repeatedly telling him not to look because if he passes out there will be no one to take care of him... I still LOVE OB and enjoy watching the birth of tiny humans. its such a crazy experience and everytime i fight the tears when mom and dad are presented with their new babes.
During some small talk with a mom during her C section I asked if she decided on a name, she said she was deciding between Eli and Isaac. I told her I liked Eli.
Later in post op [after the delivery], someone asked the name of the baby.
"Eli" she said, as she looked over and smiled at me.
i love my job
DID YOU TELL MR LAMBDIN?
