Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, so this is the end of my first week in snatchers and catchers, otherwise known as obstetrics and gynaecology. i must admit that i have not done any snatching or catching yet, but that will come in week 3 for me as i rotate through delivery suite. so far it has been good, very busy though. this is one specialty that i have been thinking of doing, so i will be paying very close attention to it all and seeing whether it is for me. at this moment i really do enjoy pregnant women and babies, so that, i think is a good starting point.
i must say that it is not as confronting as psych, but it does have its difficult moments. for example, when i was in clinics this week a 19 year old girl came in, of indian origin, who did not speak english, whose husband and inlaws beat her badly so that she would lose the baby. All because the husband has another woman on the side and that woman is pregnant. so instead of wanting the wife's child, they wanted her to abort it and since she wasn't gonna do that, they beat her to make her lose it. she thankfully put and AVO out on them and is now living with family friends. her mother died when she was very young, so her life has not been a picnic. now she is solely dependent on these friends for her well being, otherwise she is essntially alone. now what do you do with a case like that. that is just one of the many, but on the other hand you do get the very happy settled pregnant ladies and so forth. so like everything there is good and bad.
this week has been interesting as we found out our internship places on monday. i got my first choice, Westmead hospital. i'm quite happy with that, cause i'll be with many of my good friends like cameron and Maggie, plus many more. sad that my friends eric and Jawad didn't get where they wanted, but now we are quite excited for them and they for themselves i think, cause they are moving up to newcastle. This means we get to go up there to visit.....yeah.... you know that means....... ROADTRIP!!!!!!!. so that is cool and i'm looking forward to that next year. its only 2 hours away, so we'll still get to see them.
neways... soon time for lectures again......later

I'm sure it will be a rewarding experience for you once you get the hospital. I'm sorry to hear about the young woman, but at least she knows she can get help. I know you are the woman to take on the challenge.
Love ya'
