Nat M- thanks for being understanding i was really nervous people knowing.. labour ward is mostly really positive and a great place to work..
tonight been in the early pregnancy unit and most of that is horrid as early mcs and women who have been through mcs which isnt so great.. i try really hard to be sympathetic and understanding having been there twice myself as patient with my mcs... its a total leveller.. and some of my colleagues give really shit advice and support to women.. i think lots of women here have been misled and treated horribly by some doctors, (which is why i was nervous people on the forum knowing i'm a doc) and they have every right to be upset with them.. i was treated terribly by my colleagues when my mcs happened and it was humiliating...and i felt ashamed of the profession for it...
I'm going to be a GP now...i always wanted to work on labour wards and do obstetrics but you have no life, the hours are terrible and most of the docs end up as really screwed up people the more senior they get...it was a hard choice but totally the right one.. when i do get children (fingers crossed) I want to be a parent irrespective of my career and i couldnt spend all that time away from them ironically delivering other womens babies if i spent no time with them... so it was a no brainer! Midwives get to do all the lovely normal deliveries as well which i am really jealous of!! I think i should have been a midwife!!! I totally up for all that holistic stuff..
Hope your evening not too boring.. my night has been suprisingly quiet which is really nice for a change.. curry at home then bed when i get home! And no no bd tonight- to f$$$ing knackered!!!!
