This was the most memorable day throughout the paediatrics posting. First day @ SCN and yet encountered unforgettable moment in my life. I started to realize what 'SURVIVOR OF THE FITTEST' meant and how lucky for those who had undergone it. Life was fragile and not all could come this world uneventful. Just do not take things for granted!
MESSAGE from labour room: A 26 weeks twins pregnancy primi, experienced sudden contraction. Upon arrival, found that she was 2nd stage of labour. MO & HO in charge immediately rushed to the labour, well followed by 3 medical students as well.
MO: 26 weeks ,Twin!!! Nobody will know what happen upon delivered. Prepared warmers, suction, oxygen, ambu bags, larygoscopes......
A: Only 1 heartbeat was detected! and yet the rate & volume were....(sounds like prognosis was not that good)
After few minutes, the twins were delivered. No cries, floppy, no signs of life....
weight: 0.5kg & 0.6kg
No active resuscitation was done!
I looked at both twins. So small.....no so tiny......
I stood there for a few minutes. I was speechless and did not know what to do. Just kinds of feeling and yet dunno what that.
Life is fragile. Not everyone survive when he/she comes to this world. Some may need help (resuscitation).
How lucky you are & Appreciate what you have!
This 2 weeks really drove me crazy, portfolio2, correction for portfolio1 and yet had alot of problems, CFCS only just started.
and DEADLINE: 3 October 2007
I felt so tired. Coffee at night,Stayed up late at night and struggled to wake up in the morning. Sleepy during afternoon session (Oops, hopefully no one aware..)
{well, alert only in the morning as SCN was just too interesting...resuscitation, umbilical artery & vein catheterization, knowledgable MO and nice HOs, tiny babies that struggled for survival...etc.}
Life was just up side down.
Started to notice that i had not been reading..Grrrr...feeling so dumb and stupid!
Am i complaining too much? i'm a nagger especially when i'm stress. I try not to complain too much and yet my mouth just cant stop. Oops, any genetic reasons behind this? Haha.. or female likes to complaint.( wana to prove it? just do a randomised controlled clinical trial)
Okok, I survived first minute of life although quite struggled actually, i was a forcep baby. My mum claimed that my head " too big", could not come out..haha
And sure i can make it. I MUST FINISH EVERYTHING ON TIME!!!!
stop stop, time to continued my cfcs report, hopefully can finish by this weekend
