The results session from yesterday was very good
in some aspects from gaining the women's point of view in light of the results
that there is much room for improvement. It was disappointing that no men came
to the meeting after all of the hard work. There will have to be another
strategy if were are to seek the men's opinions.
I started working at Heodra in labor and delivery,
which was quite interesting. Culturally, patient care is more paternalistic
here, which conflicts greatly with my Family Medicine roots. The women labor by
themselves, which with the first baby can be quite long. Then, at the last
minute, a family member is whisked in the room for support. The residents are
very skilled and have mountains of paperwork for each patient. Tomorrow, I move
on the the postpartum area. But now, I have Spanish class to run to.
