2:20 AM
I have just been through a terribly traumatic experience.
I swear never to enter O&G. Ever...
We are currently doing reproductive medicine for systems. And believe you me...
it has been terrible.
It's not tat I don't like the subject. IT's just that...well....it's a bit too...intimate...for me.
And in addition to that there's that AWFUL grouping. Geez....I can't wait till the tutorials end on
wednesday, and I won't have deal with that BITCH, for quite some time...at least till the next radiology or surface anatomy class...which occurs every friday.
Sigh....thank you GOd for the trials you've put me through.
Well, the traumatic experience today..
Well, we had 2 women in late pregnancy come to our lecture to answer our questions
and basically tell us what it's like to be pregnant and stuff like that.
That was really interesting, and I enjoyed it.
then the dreadful bit...
The lecturer then proceeded to show us this video on
Parturition...which is basically labour and delivery.
Oh my Goodness....
I was this close to balking and passing out.
It wasn't too bad when the baby was beign delivered and all....but it was the afterbirth.
YES! the AFTERBIRTH....placenta and all...that was....absolutely DREADFUL.
I was just about to throw up. and then thankfully the video ended.
I didn't think I could eat after that.
And then, the lecturer pulls out this extra bucket (literally) of surprises...
And WOW! GUESS WHAT's in the BUCKET?
THE AFTERBIRTH FROM A TWIN BIRTHING!!!!
HOORAY!
NOt...
And we were made to line up and go past her as she explained what was what.
and where, and what each part of that slimy, red mess was and wat it was meant to do..
Thankfully it was for only 10 minutes...
Sigh....
I just can't wait for my O&G placement. Hooray!
