UGH so much reading/studying. cant they just let me deliver a baby already...learning by trial and error is much more practical
Saturday night [8pm-ish] on a test weekend

"so...i'm taking a break doing IPE... and now ima need a beer. Can we go out at 9? maybe just one? ...Bad things can happen when we are overwhelmed and do not seek task assistance. Therefore I would like to ask for help and re-distribution of workload to decrease error vulnerability. I will be awaiting your feedback so that we may continue to improve our inter-agency bot-bot coordination efforts in providing continuous mutual support."
-Laura, writing to Sarah on facebook

[to those who dont know, IPE is the 'Inter-professional Education' course we are forced to pertake in that really is just a huge waste of time. they make us read articles that use long drawn-out sentences and fancy words that basically just say 'work together and communicate' and then after we read them we have busy work assignments like writing an essay on the paper we just read...anyways, it drives us all crazy]

"Risk of ANY chromosomal anomaly in fetus [including but not limited to Down's Syndrome] increases with maternal age. Risk is: 1:475 by age 25; 1:178 by age 35; 1;62 by age 40 and 1:18 by age 45."

reason #1,536 I don't want a baby

"Other things that are really common that you just have to reassure the patient about. Headaches, heartburn, constipation, fatigue, back pain, leg pain, stress urinary incontinence....so you know, pregnancy is not actually a great time. For some women they have that pregnancy glow and they love being pregnant but for others they don’t and thats why they will actually pressure you to deliver them early. they have that pregnancy fatigue."
