ObsGyn

I'm two weeks into the rotation now. First week was postnatal and neonatal rotation. The babies are gorgeous! When will I have my own? ;) At first I was scared to do the neonatal exam, coz those tiny babies looked so fragile. In fact, they aren't. How else could they endure the whole process of labour? Ever wonder why the newborns sleep so much? They are as tired as, or more than, their mummies are!

Went to Castlebar, Co. Mayo. Louise was such a dear for offering us (Azni and me) the ride. Saved me 40 big fat bucks alright! Kinda glad that I got my own room at the B&B. Didnt want to disturb her by me having to wake up early for Subuh. The room is okay, isn't as nice as the one in Portlaoise tho'. And I just got 3 towels this time. Haha like I was using them all!

Mayo General Hospital is really impressive! My guess is that the hospital is relatively new to other hospitals that I've been to. Mater and Holles St Hospital goes a looong way back. Ancient! Mayo Hospital is spacious and have the state-of-the-art equipments. The labour wards/rooms are using these new monitoring machines which are the only ones in Ireland. No partogram used!

Erm, laparlah.

Later!
