How NOT to start your call day

L&D nurse : Doc, I know you're not on call for another ten minutes but...

Me : What do you got?

Nurse : Patient came in labor and ruptured. 7 cm. I gave the kid its first rectal.

Me : I'll be right in. Call anesthesia and the assist.

That sucks.

It beats finding out that they ignored it for 10 minutes, did nothing, THEN called you.

Not a good call anytime. Hope mom and baby are well.
