Male chauvinist...

We were having a class on episiotomy yesterday. Just thinking about it actually put my mood down a little. Anyway, just an update, I am currently now day 3 of my obstetrics posting. Was already drained on the first day as I had class, had to cover ward in the night, and also on that day I had a patient who is going on to labour and hence I followed her and waited. Oh and I did a VE(vaginal examination) on her as well. Saw two deliveries. Was very extremely excited and can't wait to learn how to deliver so I can do it.

Oh and on Monday Dr. N wants us to prepare a presentation on episiotomy before the class and since I really want to be better in what I do, i volunteered to prepare the slides so that I would study harder for it.

Just didn't realise what a disaster the whole presentation turned out to be.

Yesterday in the afternoon, I brought my laptop as I am worried the uni's computer don't play flv file as I have downloaded an episiotomy for everyone to watch prior to learning it. And I have prepared slides as well. Unfortunately, the laptop cannot be connected to the projector and there's just simply no output. SIGH. After a series of trying and failing, we called the IT guy and after trying trying trying, it still didn't work. Hence, I've decided to just try to use the school com. ANNNDDD... there actually was a program to play flv file. ISH. by then, Dr. N has arrived so K started with his anatomy of the perineum presentation. After that was the video. and after that, I wanted to open my slides, but it wasn't in the school com! I had to on my laptop and transfer the file again to k's pendrive and into the school com. I thought I did it before this.

While I am trying my very best, the class was discussing about the indications for episiotomy. I wasn't paying attention as I was still opening my slides. And still failed.

Hence, Dr. N just asked me to present and hence I presented. And the stupid guy which I really, REALLY dislike, kept making the error sounds and indicated that it was all the wrong indications. Apparently up to date, there is only ONE indication for episiotomy. SIGH. it was super, DUPER embarrassing. and not to mention the fact, I have volunteered and did something which I know no other people would want to do since everybody is so busy studying and covering ward(including me) but nobody actually bothered listening. How nice. Anyway, I am glad that K helped presenting as well..

Another disappointment was that I am only going to be in the labor room on the final week due to some changes to the groupings. Probably the only time I can try to do a episiotomy without staying up into the wee hours in the morning in the labor room. Ah, and the certification of my episiotomy can only be done next week. So the earliest I can try to perform an episiotomy will be at the end of next week. SIGH.

Ah, and what happened during episiotomy. This W J is such a kiasu fella, and always robbed everyone of their chance to perform an examination or doing a procedure. I mean, I always like to do procedures and always wants to volunteer myself. Don't get me wrong, I have always despised people whom I had to ask, do you want to do this? do you want to do that? but I at least have the courtesy to give time to other people to volunteer themself before putting myself forward. Not to mention he is a stupid idiot for asking why is the sanitary napkin used after the delivery so huge. =.= Seriously, how can a person who has a girlfriend not know the size of the sanitary napkin they use? I mean you don't have to be engaged in a sexual relationship to even know that seriously. then he started doing all sorts of maneuvering to see how a sanitary napkin should be worn blah blah blah. Seriously, in front of a female obstetrician. How rude can a person be? Seriously, I HATE that.

I just felt a person like that is just a danger to the obstetrics and gynecology ward. SIGH. I know I will be meeting a lot of different people that irritates me in the future, but I just can't seem to stop thinking about it.

Also, I really love obstetrics, would be great to be one in the future.
