The moment I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing nonstop at 3:00a.m. I new it was time for one of the most life risking situation I would ever be put in. I answered my phone to the voice of my boss saying that I needed to be at the hospital in less that 30 minutes because our patient was already dilated to 8. I rapidly put on my white coat and black leggings under some oversized white pants (uniform.) I kissed my kids and husband before I left because I didn't know if I would be able to take them to school in the morning. I jumped into my car and raced to the hospital (not actually raced more like going at 75mph.)

               

               It took me about 12 minutes to arrive at the hospital and I walked fast paced from the lobby to the 8th floor of the new building the company recently opened  yesterday. I checked in and opened every door with a magic card given to me by the company. As soon as I walked in I saw an  outstanding view of our garden where we plant flowers and fruit to give to the kids in our intensive care unit for children. I opened the door to my left and I saw a hallway with a huge window where sunlight can shine through. On the right side and on the left side I saw about 8 decent sized rooms with a 78in" flat screen T.V. all painted the same shade of mint green. I asked in what room the patient was in and they told me 806A I was relieved because I didn't want to go to any other part of  the building since everything is distant from each other.

           

                 I quickly began to gather my stuff to meet my patient. As I walked into the room she was working on some breathing exercises to make the delivery much easier to stand and I asked what her name was she said," Hello, my name is Vicky." As went on we talked more and more about how the procedure was going to go I couldn't help but notice that her makeup was smeared all over the pillow and her forehead (mainly her eyeshadow and eyeliner) but as I got to her mascara her mascara ran down the sides of her face when I told my group to get the epidural going because this girl looked like she was suffering. As soon as we put the epidural on during a contraction she said she was ready to deliver but I told her that we should wait until the epidural hit for thirty minutes.

          

                  During the thirty minutes I changed into a blue over all that protected you from all of the blood and I was sure I was going to get it all over. I put on some plastic wraps designed for surgery procedures on my feet and my mouth piece so I don't get blood on my mouth. When I was all changed and ready I headed to the patience room with my surgical team. Once we got our patient to go to sleep so we would be able to start our procedure, we set up everything we needed for the surgery. We started cutting the  lower right side of the abdomen and began cutting our way towards the left. When we couldn't see the head of the baby and saw the feet we new it hadn't had turned around so we had to cut a little more up than usual. Once we were able to see the baby's head we pulled it out just to realize two things 1. it was a girl 2. the umbilical cord was tied around her neck. 

  

                 We quickly began to find the end of the umbilical cord but it was still stuck to the placenta, their was no time to let the father cut it like the traditional way so we quickly began cutting. The baby was quickly running out of air since she was clearly turning purple so we unwrapped the cord around her neck and took her to the intensive care unit where she could be examined. When the tests were done everything was fine and no harms were done towards the baby.We just had to take care of her for about a day or two since we did have some difficulties along the way. Now that I have checked the clock it was now 8:15a.m. And we had to g to take a break so some nurses came and took our shift. 

                 One of the most dangerous surgeries was performed by me as the main doctor and my surgical team, it all resulted into a positive answer. I finished my day by going home early at 10:00a.m. because I had worked since 3:00a.m. which isn't the first time it has happened to me. As I was on my way out of the hospital I picked up some Starbucks and drove home. When I get home my children were already at school and my husband was at work so I took a nap while nobody was home and everything was quite. I woke up at 3:00p.m. and my kids and husband were already here so I woke up and told my husband about my day and he told me his and at the end of it all I had the most stressful day. To finish my day off I went to my boxing training around five and got some workout done I finished off around 8:00p.m. after the training I went home took a shower had dinner and went to sleep and get rest for the next day at work.
