End of the week for the first day of work. Been quite an experience so far, but also learning many lessons from it as it gets by. Some theory, some practical, even how to do a caeserian.

1. Delivery
Never stand at the base of the bed when the baby comes out, cuz together with the baby, and shortly after, is a huge spurt of some icky-brownish stuff, which will land on ur pants and trousers and make u miserable the whole day

2. Plugs
I damn suck at putting in a green plug into a woman's hand. Somehow the canula refuses to slide in. So far failure rate has soared, with today having failed 2/2 (100%) and yesterday 1/2 (50%). Now i have extremely low confidence when i stare at a vein, compared to last time. But if anything, must act confident.

3. Getting lazy
Think with time, after doing many of the mundane stuff and filling in forms, i start to get lazy and not look thru ALL the past hx, which is damn bad practice. I'm determined to correct dat, cuz on looking back at my own papers i filled in, i realised i made quite a few mistakes, all becuz i became lazy.

4. Muscle memory
After a while, filling in the IMR, doing episiotomy repairs, tying knots, giving IV drugs become muscle memory. It just comes with the lift of the needle or the pen.

5. Hand Tie
The hand tie is damn fast. No fumbling with the instruments.

6. Sleep is precious

7. HP
Yes, they do provide me with a new HP, but it's a phone i wish it doesn't ring. Normally is nothing good. And somehow i get called more often then my partner (postulated becuz my name is before his).

8. C-section
First hand experience in the heat of the operation, yanking, pulling, cutting, burning and maybe in the near future tying. Not to mention sucking the baby's throat.

All been an eventful first 3 days at work. And feeling the pressure of responsibility. Hope i make a good doctor.
