I doubt that McCoy is all that keen on neonatology

DEAR PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED COMIC-CON: I HATE YOU ALL. AND YOUR STUPID FAR-AWAY CONTINENT. HATE.

Guys, guys, today we went to the neonatal ward and got to poke a baby! It had teeny tiny feet!! We are also having lectures shoved down our throats at the speed of light and my head is spinning with new concepts and new vocabulary (you don't want to know the number of ways in which you are required to describe the position of a foetus. or the number of mechanisms of labour.) but it's fascinating, and I think if this block doesn't end up killing me through the sheer number of ward and clinic and theatre hours I somehow have to combine with studying for Barrier, I will enjoy it a lot.

BABIES.

Oh god obstetrics vocab! I had just had a nasty flashback to the 10 pages of definitions we had to memorise prior to our first day in obstetrics.

What they failed to teach us was this:

Nothing can prepare you for labor and its mechanisms. Just buckle your shit up and cope with it at the time.

YOU THINK AN END OF TERM CADAVER IN ITS TANK HAS GOO. I'LL SHOW YOU GOO.

You should come poke our baby some time! She pokes back now, alas.

Luckily I will be sleep-deprived and running on coffee when I do my delivery shifts. I may not be able to summon the energy to react to the goo.

I would really love to poke your baby, believe me :(
