Welcome to Part 6! Everyone did a bang up job by hitting 10k in less than 12 days--11 days 19 hours and 18 minutes to be exact. A new record! 😀

For those not familiar with what we do here, Molly has been kind enough to put together a nice description.

Not sure what the Random thread is all about? Well, here's the answer to all your questions.

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.

you practice the best medicine you can, there will be some things we just cant fix but if you do that then at least you can live with yourself. this is what i got from my ob residents, that whole eagle thing doesnt look so stupid after you read a story like your friends now does it? thankfully fatalities in ob are rare even though its the riskiest time in a womans life.

worst case they do a hysterectomy and remove the uterus if they cant control the bleeding, this lets them tie off the uterine vessels and gets the bleeding at the source. somethings you just cant stop though like an amniotic fluid embolus though. 🙁

So here's another sad story that totally makes my heart bleed and totally would make me not be able to live with myself if this happened......

When I was a freshmen in college, I had roommate from Will's part of Florida. She was an education turned psychology major.

At any rate, she once told me the story of this kid she used to baby sit.

I don't remember the specifics but when this family friend was going in labor the OB F-ed up and nearly killed one of the twin babies and caused them to have down syndrome and severe mental ******ation. I don't remember whether the other twin died or also was affected with mental ******ation. But still....it is soooooo scary and one of the reasons I don't think I'd ever do anything surgical. I couldn't handle the stress of having someone's life on that grave of a level. I think surgical related things just scare me and are fun to observe but definitely not something I'd see myself doing in my near future.

downs syndrome is genetic and would he present whether the baby had a perfect delivery or not though. maybe the ******ation was made worst by hypoxia or something? surgery is definitely stressful but its a rush guju, very exciting. plus, for every bad outcome you hear there are sooooooooooooooooooooooo many good outcomes that go without mention, its better than what you think.

Well as I said, I don't recall the specifics. I just remember it was some sort of mental ******ation or severe damage that was due to cutting too far. It was really really really really scary.

I heard this story 5 years ago.

Oh and in regards to the rest of this post, yeah I agree there are good outcomes but I could never be a surgeon. I think I'll leave that for the guys or few gals that really are up to that life. I would rather have a good life style specialty or have a specialty that may not be a good lifestyle necessary but that is not too procedure based in terms of surgical kind of things. In other words, something like neurology or internal med and its subspecialties would be much better fit with me.
