And then when the anesthesiologist said, hey, they need you an OR5 stat.
I was like, oh, funny.
Ha ha.
That's where the pair was.
And then someone comes in and I was like, where is my intern?
And then they're like, oh, he's an OR5.
They've been in there for what feels like forever.
They've got to be done.
So...
finish up what I'm doing, still not back.
So I'm going to go check out the situation.
I wasn't really prepared for what I saw when I walked in the room.
So the patient's in lithotomy position, which is when you're giving birth, your legs are like up in the stirrups.
Which isn't abnormal.
Like when we're doing rectal surgeries or we're down in the pelvis, it's very common to be in that position.
My intern, he's on the side of the patient, like pushing down on the abdomen, trying to like squeeze it out.
Yeah, like some counterpressure.
The attending's at the foot of the bed.
He is trying everything he can.
He's so frustrated.
