May 9th - Obstructed Obstetrics

Next week I have my final finals - a paediatric scenario (trauma or medical), an obstetrics scenario, a paeds/obstetrics MCQ and a short written made up of "one paeds question, one obs, one trauma and one 'other'"

That "other" is scaring the shit out of me.

My textbook is a rainbox of highlighter ink, I've copied out screeds of writing, boiling and distilling the data down into a concentrated educational goo.

There is an enormous volume of data to try and cram into my head, I'm feeling a certain affinity with the plastic dummies we use to simulate birth. I've got an intra-cranial knowledge baby growing inside me and this week I have to twist its shoulders and head around and squeeze it out onto the page.

I wonder if they'll give me pain relief in the exam...?
