Last days on the deck...

I must say that ultimately one of the most important things we leArn about medicien and being a physician is being confident, making the best decision you can in any situation. This is so difficult in a field where things are always changing, there is so much to know, and you want to keep your patient safe. I began to feel so much more comfortable on this rotation when I just manned up, accepted the great uncertainty I felt, and just kept an open mind. My last few days I had three deliveries. I got t work with the midwives and felt confident manning triaged. Seemed so much more simple and straightforward compared to when I was a intern. (let's hope I feel that way going back to labor and delivery in April). I still haven't had a successful rupture of membranes, but I at least tried. My repairs are getting better, far from being able to do it alone, but getting there. It's hard to learn on the job with people watching but I guess it has to be done. So it goes with the theme you just have to be confident with the uncertainty.
