I'm in Pendleton for my Women's Health rotation. I'm now into my second week and I'm feel pretty comfortable with pelvic exams, pap smears, finding fetal heart tones and breast exams. I can tell how dilated pregnancy women are, but have a harder time judging how effaced the cervix is. On my first day I assisted with a c-section over lunch and yesterday we did a D&C on a pt in the morning. I've learned that the inside of the uterus should feel like a cat's tongue.
I also really miss pediatrics. I'm learning tons and getting lots of good experience, but I don't love it like I did Peds.
This weekend should be exciting as I'm hanging around Pendleton because I'm on call all weekend. Hopefully we'll deliver a few more babies and assist in the OR.
Will is busy traveling around the country this week for interviews at a couple of schools. I'll let you hear all about it from him.
