I finished Ob/Gyn yesterday, and am still sort of in shock that it's over. It was truly the best rotation for me: the one where I learned the most, did the most, and realized the most about myself and where my future is heading (yes I'm getting reflective there).
Surgically, I think I've come farthest during this rotation. I was challenged by my preceptor's partner, during a c section I was assisting in, to learn one-handed knot-tying during the time of my rotation. I took the challenge head on, and finally got to show off my skills during the last c section I scrubbed in on with him yesterday. It was a nice closure to the rotation for me. And again, every time I scrub into a case in the OR, I learn more about the nuances that make surgery what it is.
The variety of cases and patient ages is wide, which makes it fun and interesting every time I go into clinic. In-office procedures, birth control counseling, prenatal appts, Gyn annuals, and the surgeries/c sections on top of that. Ob/Gyn combines my interests in endocrinology, surgical cases, seeing patients in clinic, and having a wide range of ages.
Overall, it was an amazing rotation to have, where I learned and did a lot, and realized exactly where I belong. Next up: fun with power tools (orthopedic surgery)!
