Ep193: 10 Crazy Things from My Career


Listen Later

I cannot believe I graduated from medical school in 2002! Looking back at my career, a lot of wild things have happened. On this podcast I get to bring you expert advice, education on important topics, and all kinds of birth stories. But for this episode, I thought I’d do something a little more lighthearted and share 10 interesting things from my two-decade career.

I will be talking about some of the difficult things that happen in my specialty, as well. Some of these stories are going to be a little bit gruesome - I give a warning in the episode before going into anything graphic so you can skip ahead. Overall you are going to enjoy it and hopefully you find these stories funny or relatable.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-What makes it impossible for the hospital to prepare your epidural before you arrive

-Why all kinds of reactions to the arrival of your baby are ok

-Why certain items absolutely should not be inserted into a vagina!

-Why you should think about how your actions affect can others in a public space

-How even I, after 20 years in practice, am not able to predict how quickly a birth might progress

-Why faster is not necessarily better when it comes to labor

-Why we need to monitor placenta previa so carefully

-How we medical providers could be more sensitive to our patients feelings

-What a notarized birth plan is and what it means (or honestly doesn’t mean)
