Prologue: This won’t be a formal post, and I don’t friggin’ care! What you’re about to witness is me whining about how much I gonna miss my OB-Gyne rotation!!

And so this ends our OB-Gyne rotation. It was fun while it lasted!

I’m gonna miss delivering babies, hearing their cries (and their mother’s!), stitching up episiotomies and perineal lacerations.

I’m gonna miss the nurses who bully me coz it takes too long for me to stitch something up, teasing me that I’m already performing a c-section + BTL.

I’m gonna miss shouting ‘NICUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!’ while clamping, milking and then cutting the cord.

I’m gonna miss the intelligent and quick thinking consultants and residents who never fail to teach us something valuable be it in medical or real-life scenarios.

There’s just something about OB-Gyne that feels so fulfilling!!

I’ll tell you one thing I won’t miss: the carpal tunnel syndrome inducing hx, pe, dr tech, admitting orders, post partum orders, the dinalian progress notes, dispo slips and discharge summaries!

It’s true though that it’s better late than never. After almost 6 and a half years of feeling ambivalent whether I’m really destined to be where I am, finally, I am able to hold the proof that nothing goes wrong when you let go and let God. I can still remember those times that I doubt myself and lost all my will to continue this program; I literally cry over it for countless times. My mom would always tell me “i-try mo muna ng isa pang sem”, my bestfriend would then tell me “kaya mo ‘yan, ikaw pa?”. They had so much faith in me. You guys are the real MVP. I cannot thank you enough for everything. Until the next chapter of this life. ♡
