The thing with being in a tertiary hospital which is supposedly the largest maternity unit in the country in terms of deliveries (perhaps also Asia), is that you get to see things which come out of the blue.
1. Saw one case of holoprosencephaly, where the specialist on call had to perform a cephalocentesis because the baby had hydrocephalus on scanning. Baby was delivered but didn't survive.
2. Patient presented with fever, chills and rigors.. Query dengue fever, patient deteriorated and got admitted to ICU. Urinary pregnancy test positive, so a transvaginal ultrasound done found a stillbirth fetus lying at the os, which was later removed.
3. Since the midwife students went home at 9pm, by hook or by crook I needed to get a normal delivery done, so by the time finished rounds, already midnight. Helped to conduct one, but towards the end the baby became bradycardic, requiring MO's help.. got a signature anyway, left at almost 2am.. need sleep, tomorrow going into OT to witness hysteroscopy. Oh wait, MY EBCP ASSIGNMENT!!!!!
