06.05.2020 Teachings

Any guesses on the topic for today based on these pictures? I forgot to take some in action pictures today but as it was a hands on teaching I didn't have much time for that so here the finished results:

Sponges make great learning tools it turns out

This would be the full model of what I had started to teach a few weeks ago and finished today!

Well I'm pretty sure my gynecology friends probably get it by now but the topic was perineal suture.  In the second picture the top sponge covered what was Lesson 1 in which we learned basic suture skills and how to suture vaginal tears.  Lesson 2 was about the perineal tear and I found the sponges with the scrubber portion to be an excellent example of how to teach intracutaneous suture. My midwives are excellent students and I thoroughly enjoy working with them.  Todays lesson was fun and also a bit less of a mess.  Lesson 1 we used meat chunks (our guard dogs lunches!) to suture so a better feeling could be gained for the muscle tissue.
