Boring post

Skyped with my sis last night, she told me to update my blog cuz da last post I wrote is like more than a week ago. Okay, this post specially write for you lah...if you're able to understand, if not, take out a dictionary to check for meaning since you're so free.
Today is my second day of OBG posting in Udupi hospital, as usual reached hospital by college bus about 945am. Dr. Parvati asked us go to OT (operation theaters). Wear da green and ugly surgical clothes, cap and mask, prepare to go into OT. Not bad huh, get to see 3 cases of caesarean delivery and abdominal hysterectomy (removal of uterus). First case of C-section, the patient is having uterine fibroid with pre-eclampsia. Second case, the patient is healthy and this is her second gravida, of course the baby is healthy too. Third case, it's an emergency case. The baby is under distress, mum is advised for immediate caesarean delivery. When da surgery is going on, we're hoping that the baby will be alright. After baby is pulled out from uterus by doctor, there's present of meconium in amniotic fluid. Paediatrician passed a tube through nose and mouth of da baby to aspirate da amniotic fluid. Thank god, the baby is fine. Last case is just removal of  uterus and ovary cuz the lady is having ovarian cyst with history of uterine fibroid. Some fibroid are still present though she previously undergone myomectomy.
Tired cuz standing for hours in OT. Okay, that's it, a boring post.

I think the passing meconium one was the 2nd case which here u said healthy.also present with decreas liquor.the mother didn't know d actually what her POG is. just told the doc that she was 9 months. so Dr parvati kinda frustrated and she doubted and said that the baby looked like a post term baby.
While the emergency C section, the baby was healthy.

And from what i understand after reading a little bout fibroids, it could actually cause ovarian cyst due to high estrogen level. Hysterectomy i think done still mainly coz of multiple and recurrent fibroids.
