Ob/Gyn Day 1

3 weeks of pediatrics over and time to move to O&G
And the change is indeed drastic. No cute kids to play around with and everyone is so serious as if there is a tsunami coming close! I guess it is because of the pressure that obstetricians have to face on a daily basis.

Well, I guess my first day was not too bad, even though nothing much excited happened.

I woke up early and made myself some breakfast but strangely enough I fell back asleep and woke up at 7.45 am! I was planning to leave my house at this time...sigh
Well luckily the rush of adrenaline allowed me to take one of those 2 minutes showers and to get ready in 3 minutes!

I arrived a little bit late at handover rounds for my first day! urgh but I guess no one really noticed... We, medical students, always seem to be invisible most of the time.

Handover rounds were followed by ward rounds, which was well nothing special. There was a few patients with heart conditions who were closely being monitored and we stood behind as the specialist reviewed the patients.

Next, we were told that there was a suturing workshop and that we should attend. Suturing! Yay!
That was interesting indeed as it allowed me to review the basic suturing and knot tying techniques :)

Simple first day indeed!
