Another new posting for me, or i would better call it as the last ever posting for me, after coming back from Banting posting, and before my final MBBS examination, the Obstetric posting (or perhaps birth posting in layman term??)
Well, this is definitely not the most stressful posting but it is the most tiring posting as agreed by all coursemates who went through it, because of its on call system, each of us will have to stay in the labour ward and stay alert throughout the whole night to help in the deliveries of babies. Last Tuesday was my fist on call and my first ever night sleeping in the hospital... wait a minute, sleeping?? Yup I managed to sleep 2 hours before any patients got admitted and delivering, felt so thankful...
Delivering baby is a difficult process for most of the women I think, although I will never able to experience it, I could see it from their face. To me, women are gentle and sensitive people the way they are: they have lower pain threshold than men, but they have to bear the labour pain which is one of the most painful event as described in human: they have less strength than men, but they have to use their great strength of power to push the baby out... what a noble process that only the person who is called "mother" can do it!!

Looking at all these lively processes, all the doctors and nurses in the labour ward are just there to facilitate the delivery process, shouting together with the patient to tell her to push some more, and ensuring the mother and the baby are in safe condition at all time, thankfully... all the deliveries I saw and conducted that night were all safe.
The process from conception to birth is a difficult process, so as the process of bringing up the child, and the process of molding a person is the most difficult one. And I, still in the process of molding.
Again thanks to all the mothers who are willing to give us an opportunity to learn from you to be a better care-giver. :-)
