OBGYN Rotation has kicked my butt these first 2 weeks not gonna lie but I like it ! I’m learning, I’m becoming more confident I’m making mistakes, In fact everyday feels like I’m just trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Every specialty has their own lingo, their own way of caring for patients it’s crazy . And OBGyns do ALOT their surgeons, primary care and emergency Med all in one! My struggles have been : 1. Trying to figure out how to fit all my fouxloc dreads into a bonnet (I use two now) 2. trying figure how to make myself useful in the OR before surgery- during surgery isn’t the problem it’s helping out before hand without being in the way and slowing them down or worse contaminating the sterile field, which I’ve done! During the surgery is easy they’ll tell you want to do. 3. Being annoyed at meetings where we don’t know the purpose of or what people are even talking about 4. How to Write a progress notes and H&Ps for different residents and different types of patients ! 5. Building rapport with a patient that doesn’t speak the same language and using an interpreter / learning Spanish in general 6. Knowing when it’s time to eat - my body and mind completely fail me when I’m hungry- y’all the other day instead of heading to lunch I thought I’d see one more patient, y’all I presented the wrong patient to my resident, i think I did a prenatal exam on a lady who wasn’t even pregnant 🤦🏾♀️ I walked into the wrong room after I grabbed her chart and didn’t check her name !!! 6. Learning to be confident during your presentation even if you don’t know what’s wrong with the patient your going to give your best shot and make a plan based on the info you’ve gathered ! ! . . . #obgyn #obgynlife #futureobgyn #naturalbirth #womenshealth #rotations #medschool #ms3 #rossuniversityschoolofmedicine #rusm #medschoolproblems #obstetrics (at Silver Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BukbVnJhw10/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=192p6tachd440
