Fundal Grip

Although I measured the fundal height of my antepartum patient almost 10 inches off its correct value, miscalculated my patient's AOG (age of gestation) wrong because I failed to note that February only has 28 days, and got a terror preceptor who told me that I should go to an EENT doctor because I couldn't hear the heart tone of the baby inside my patient's womb during my practical exam, today still has been a good day.

I went to a government hospital not as a visitor or as an observer but as someone doing real hospital work. I was exposed to a real-life hospital setting where three patients shared one bed and pregnant mothers patiently fell in line standing. I faced real antepartum and postpartum patients. I learned a lot. I grew a lot.

Tomorrow, I am sure, will be another good day. It'll be a more better-er day even, for more comparativeness. I'm just so excited to be at the labor room and delivery room tomorrow, I actually can't wait to wake up and return to Quezon Memorial Medical Center come morning. Haha.

Happiness--this is how it should feel like :)
