A mixture of exhilaration and fatigue.Friday evening with no disasters and no one hating me.Warm inside,wet and cold outside.Fish for dinner I hope.
Just one last woman in labour,diabetic on insulin,previous caesarean section,blood pressure rising,not long established in labour since induction this morning.I started this so I should finish it but it is not my weekend on duty.Handed over,but still involved,still to blame if there is a catastrophe.
My old professor used to say,"In obstetrics trouble comes from a clear blue sky," another version of "the watched pot never boils" : the other one does.As much as I would like to believe that, I might call the ward later tonight.
