Surviving Obstetrics

If someone were to ask me what was the most important lesson learnt in OBGYN, its not on how to conduct deliveries much less controlled cord traction.

Xan-di feels that the most important thing to know about a patient in Labor Room is whether the membranes are intact. “Why?” you ask..

because, xan-di has observed on two occasions SROM occured which sent substantial amounts of liquor (ie. fetal urine and if you’re lucky, meconium) flying across the room and landing on unsuspecting victims who by some stroke of “luck” positioned themselves directly infront of the birth passage.

important? YOU DECIDE..
