Summer time and OB living is easy

Well that's sort of a lie. But third year started out with a bang: Gyn surgery, followed by the obstetrics service, at Olive View Medical Center.

A few tidbits (longer post to come at end of rotation):

--I hate myself for taking French growing up at the expense of my Spanish.

--Love the OR. Love it.

--The birth of a baby is pretty neat, either naturally or by C/S. The first screams are oddly reassuring and wonderful to hear.

--Being a third year med student is a weird balancing act.

--Did I mention I love the OR?
