OB/GYN: the 48 hour shift.

so the worst thing everyone always talks about when it comes to OB/GYN is the hours. I mean who wouldn't love the breath of hope and happiness that our patients add. They are happy to be there and happy to go home, etc. Plus its a little clinic, surgery and hospital.

But I got to the hospital at 5am wed and left at noon on friday. I only got 4 hours of sleep total. And it was ridiculous. I saw so many c-sections and births and there were so many things we had to do.  And it wasn't as bad as i thought.  I learned a secret. Well several. Constantly eat and don't sit down if you don't want to fall asleep.  SO i just stayed up.. and had no caffeine. I was very proud of myself.  I

I feel a little... drunk or something. Like if i stop moving, the room kinda spins. SO i am sleeping instead of updating this STUPID BLOG... I probably shouldn't have driven.  I have another long shift later.
