29.02.2020 Leap Year Day

Here a bit of my laid back Saturday on call. I did a ward round in the morning, discharged four patients after performing ultrasounds (one with a spontaneous abortion, one receiving treatment for a missed abortion and one kidney scan for my c-section patient with the deep cervical tear) and dressing changes. I was relieved to know that all were doing well. The fourth patient just needed reminder that it is summer and very warm for her baby, which was dressed ready for a German winter. After that I was relaxing in the garden while staying close to the phone for the patient who came in with contractions. She was post c-section so we were very cautious during her delivery. Thankfully she delivered without a problem so I wasn’t needed on this case and had more time to relax on this beautiful day around the premises of my new housing, nicknamed the ‘white house’.
