my rotation has been really disappointing. I went to med school in my home state because I was told it was a great clinical program and I would have the opportunity to "deliver ten babies if I wanted".
well, I haven't delivered one. I have only assisted in ONE vaginal delivery. As in, clean up the patient and hand the patient the clamps for the cord. So how am I supposed to know if I want to do ob/gyn when I haven't even gotten to see anything?!
ps. I have told my resident that I really want to do a vaginal delivery. I have scrubbed in on everything I can. I take more patients than anyone else. I write my notes on time and do all of my work. Just a disclaimer for those who may think this is somehow my fault for being a lazy student or something...
