This is how my patient’s family comes running into the room (like they’re going to miss something), and I have to break the news that the patient is only 4cm…and she has to get to 10cm … and it will be awhile before she delivers…

This is what an AROM looks like when the mom has polyhydramnios. I don’t get wet, ’cause I’m like a ninja. The resident on the other hand has to change their scrubs 😉

This is how I feel when the provider calls a section for failure to progress, I put the patient left lateral and get the patient ready for her section reeeaaaaaaal slow and she delivers. In the bed. Intact. Without a doctor (oh well, they’ll make it there for the placenta).

My patient grunted like this right before she delivered and I scrambled to pull the emergency cord to get a provider…but it was too late
Okay, so football in my house is soccer (I’m married to a Brit). But my work wife loooves JJ Watt. She has to be his biggest fan. So this is for her 🙂 I may not know what position he plays, but I have to say…what little I know of the guy makes me kind of like him too ❤
p.s.
I really do love the residents I work with. Shout out to Dr. B! 🙂
Until my next delivery ❤

I love your blog anyway, but anything with JJ Watt in it gets 2 thumbs up from me! I’m a die-hard Texans fan, I love him and ‘American’ football and am thrilled it’s back!! Thanks for the giggle!
