Ramblings

OB should be a happy floor.

There are a lot of whiny-ass people in this world.

Too many women have too much free time to pay attention to every drop of vaginal discharge that they make.

Blue is NOT my favorite color.

I've been working only for a few weeks and already my damned knee hurts. I still am hoping for an AKA.

I half want to strangle my daughter tonight. Am not looking forward to the teen years...

OB-GYN stages of life

Teens: Have "heavy periods" but really just want to get on the pill without Mom knowing that they are having sex.
20s: Having babies
30s: Done having babies. Want to be done with periods too.
40s. Fibroids -> menorrhagia -> hysterectomy
50s: The HOT FLASHES, OMG!!!
60s: It's falling out.

Just remembered

How goofy looking newborn babies look.

Every. Last. One.

And yes, I include my kids.

Ode to Nyquil

Nyquil, Nyquil,
with you I will
sleep through the night.

Nyquil, Nyquil,
You taste like ass.
Lots of time will pass
Until I'm conscious  again.

Nyquil, Nyquil
I'm still feeling you
12 hours later.
Good thing I am not on call today.

Bad timing...

So I'm down there, just checking out (yet another) vag discharge. And the gal's phone rings...except she's using her bra as her pocket & her ringtone is her friends saying "Girl, WAZZUP?"

"Um, your boob is talking"

We both started laughing.

Stupid researcher

I was reading the OB/Gyn News (yes, an actual journal) the other day. It gives brief reviews of conferences, important articles, and some commentary.

Robotics is a big issue in surgical fields right now. As you can guess, there's a lot of crap research being done on it. One such paper was presented at the AAGL conference recently. The researcher is QUOTED as saying "Well, if you eliminate those complications, robotic hysterectomy has the same complication rate as laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomies."

WTF?????? Yes, they had similar complication rates for many things, but there is one particular risk of robotic surgery that the others DO NOT HAVE. Period.  And then to claim that robotic surgery is as safe as traditional minimally invasive surgery? Bullshit.

The scientist in me died a little bit.

8 years...



8 years ago, at this ungodly hour of the morning, I met my son. Happy birthday to the other guy who stole my heart!
