@@IHateMyselfMeBK Nope not me. All i can say is I didn't faint and felt oddly proud about it. The guy who sang Happy Birhtday was a goofy sort. He is a radiologist now
I was mid push when the doc showed up and asked "How we doing?" And belted out a yell I didn't know I had in me. He followed up with, "Sounds like we're right on track." 🤣
One of my friends was in labour and their partner started joking with the doc to lighten the mood. My friend yelled “SHUT THE F**K UP!!” at them. Don’t mess around with people in 13 out of 10 pain. They will put your ear drums to the test.
My labor went on for 20 hours. I am so grateful for my med student. She was in there with me, being my cheerleader, cleaning me up, getting my husband water/snacks.
@@EughhBrothereughh i don't understand your reaction to my comment. She was not made a waitress by anyone, nor did my husband just sit there eating and drinking for 20 hours. If you must know, my labor was complicated and my husband stayed next to me where I needed him to be, and my comment was to express my appreciation for the hardworking and compassionate med student that helped us both through our first delivery, which was stressful and scary to begin with.
@@stephanielim7967 this! Working with a birthing woman can also mean taking care, showing responsibility and emotional work etc and its just as valuable as the medical/ technical work
When I was giving birth to my second baby I was alone with the midwife and student midwife. I swear the only thing I was concerned about was how harsh the midwife was to the student 😭 Asking her questions and keep correcting everything she says. I was the one giving birth but all I wanted was to shout Give her a break already!!! Feeling for that poor student was more stressful than pushing a human out of me lol
Yeah, some women in healthcare are absolutely ruthless. They are often very good in their job, but as a student it can absolutely ruin your motivation :/
@@ElliLavender absolutely. a coworker of mine has a daughter who wanted to be a midwife but quit because the other midwives at her hospital were all around horrible. good at their job, but extremely critical of newcomers and there was a very strong hierarchy. it's a shame because my country currently has a midwife (and all around nursing) shortage, so the fact that it isn't even the profession itself that's pushing people away is awful. the daughter's still a nurse which is good, she works in psychiatry now
Aww the fact that you were thinking of the student in the middle of your own labor kinda gives me a hint that you're a great person and definitely a good mom! You somehow share the same vibe as my mom, a person who cares 😊 as a student within medical field myself, I thank you for that ma'am
@@ads1175 that’s so sweet of you! I hope I am 🥲😂 it was a tricky situation because the midwife actually was so nice and sweet to me but then so rude and picky towards the student, it felt very unfair to be treated nicely while the student was getting picked apart for every answer she gave
I think OBGYNs are required to be in a strange state of constant zen. They're consistently ready for absolutely anything to go wild and have TWO lives on their hands, if not occasionally more.. All the more reason I couldn't do it! One life is scary enough!
Why am I being the calm one too?! I seriously feel like I would help deliver a baby. Though I'm not a doctor, so everywhere else that's not a hospital or urgent care.
Well sometimes the mom will "hold" dad's hand too strongly. And hard doesnt only mean physical pain, there also mental. But that is tiny compared to what mom has to carry
@@flordelphinta This is very true. I was saying it as a joke, but truth be told he really was upset as most men are when they see their loved ones give birth to their child. It takes two to get pregnant.
The medical student at the birth of my second daughter looked exactly like this. I wasn't sure who he was, so I looked up and said, "Who are you?" and he literally jumped. I didn't mean to scare him and it actually made me start laughing 3 minutes before I unintentionally went through natural childbirth. Which I would have thought was impossible. This video really bought back memories. Thank you so much!
Somewhere in the world there's a new med student in a delivery room quietly chanting to themselves "don't drop the baby, don't drop the baby, don't drop the baby..."
My father (not an MD) delivered my sister in a rural hospital, and the MD walked in just in time to drop her a few inches onto a table. She was calm and quiet until that point, and then they knew she was breathing.
@@Breathe-In-and-Out the nurse delivering me apparently spanked me when I was born to make me cry (in order to make sure I could breathe). turns out you can just rub the baby with a warm towel instead.
@@pheonixrises11 I just breathed which I supose didn't happen commonly? I did cry however when I was put in water to bathe me. It was a bit cold because it was prepared for when I was EXPECTED to be born and I was hard to deliver. Till this day I can't stand cold water and absolutely love hot one.
Mom of six here. I always told my nurses & doctors that I’d be fine with anyone extra standing in. Because I didn’t use any pain medication and I liked being a show-off. 😁 My favorite was with baby #5. I told my nurse, “Yeah, if anyone is training or anything I’m fine if they come in.” She said, “Well, there is a new receptionist in labor & delivery, and she hasn’t witnessed a birth yet.” Poor girl stood in the back of the room trying to hide the horror on her face. She obviously wanted to fit in with her new co-workers who were saying things like, “You’re doing amazing, mom! Keep going!” And she was like, “Oh yeah…this is…so cool…wow…” Baby was born and she was like, “Yeah, I’m gonna leave now…”
my mom saw this and told me that when I was born there were a lot of med tudents in the room . 4 fainted and the rest sang happy birthday when I was born . apparently they were fascinated by the amount of hair I had on my head when I was born and they bathed me an kinda brushed my hair down with their hands . the doc asked her what she felt about the new and coming docs and she said that they were a bunch of wonderful kids and was one of the main reasons she didn't feel uncomfortable as fuck . it's was pretty nice to know.
You know that there is another comment here from someone when he was a med student that says the same story as yours!! You might have someone who witnessed your birth right here 😅
My dad was a paramedic and started at the age of 21 back in the 70's. In his 3rd month of his job he had to deliver his first baby in the back of an ambulance. The mom wasn't even going to the hospital with plans to deliver, she was going to the hospital for a broken tail bone after slipping on ice but the baby decided it was time to come. My dad worked as a paramedic for 38 years said he had never experienced anything so stressful the rest of his career. He's experienced a lot of trauma but he said even seeing severed heads/limbs still didn't stress him out as much as that baby and the screams of the woman birthing with a broken tailbone. OOF.
I had a student in the room. He asked me during contractions if I am OK with him in the room. I just gasped "suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure" while breathing. During pushing time I looked at him unintentionally. I will FOREVER remember his face. Pure horror, panic, disbelieve and rethinking his career choices. He was so blown away after. He could not stop complimenting me on doing what I just did 😂😂 actually after all that pain I loved the praise!!!
@@schneeevchen they should clear that with you in triage. A simple "Are you ok with a student doctor observing during the labor and delivery?" while your coherent enough to think about it would be way more professional and considerate.
My mom was in for the birth of my baby brother (4th natural birth she did) and they had a med student and an intern there. My mom was all pro about it and pushed my brother out in under 4 hours and the poor guys nearly died watching 🤣 the med student even had to leave for a bit... Long Story short: he's a dentist now 🤣
@@NeggieKnight Sure enough, but …. Let’s be honest, would you be willing to put up with all the possible risks and complications to bring new life to the world. I mean, you existing is a testament to that. It’s considered a biological process, but it’s a very exhilarating biological process from what I gather.
Med student during my c- section : "oh my god that's SO MUCH scar tissue, it's horrific" Surgeon to me: "and we're going to fix it, don't worry mama it's all good" I could HEAR her glaring at the student from behind the curtain xD
@@Doylt I felt sorry for them, but I was in a pretty good mood all things considered so I just chuckled, RIP to that student after the surgery though lololol
Brand new resident got asked to check my fetus' heartbeat. She failed to locate it and started hyperventilating and crying about how to tell me about my supposed miscarriage. The OB momentarily froze in horror (at the resident's actions). To put this in proper context, I could feel my baby happily kicking my bladder and was completely unconcerned by the news of his supposed demise. Since I was calm, the attending dragged this student out into the hall for a lecture and then had her come back in and stand in the corner while the attending successfully located my son's heartbeat to demonstrate proper technique. Step one of proper technique is actually turning the doppler ON. I love residents. Under the care of an attending, they are endless comedy in stressful times.
Oh man, I'm very sorry for the little guy! I'm just a second year med student and finding the heartbeat is still hard for me, but I always supose I'm just incompetent or the machine is broken. From you telling the resident was just in panic before heding into the room or he woukd think that too.
@@chubbydinosaur9148 Residents are hilarious. I know they're learning and part of that is making mistakes, but it can be hard not to laugh. They're all so earnest and terrified.
@@sarahhavillamelooliveira5825 It was her first rotation, so I think "panic" was a pretty good description. Poor thing was so earnest and just wanted to be a good doctor.
@@hnmarsh1 In my country we practice from day one. Literally. They got us doing anamnesis (the medical interview) with real patients in the third class. It was crazy, but I guess it helps getting used to the first-time-here-panic. When I was in ob/gyn and got to take the first Papanicolau I was absolutely terrified I couldn't find the uterus entrance (I don't remember the term in english) and it turned out it was out of it's normal placement so there is no way a begginer like me would land it, but my teacher was there so everything was fine. My teacher was the best.
With my first, while delivering the plecenta the med student told me to push like I was having the baby. I pushed super hard and it popped out and sprayed blood all over her. It was on the mask and shield and everything she was wearing. She was standing in straight horror and was petrified. You could tell she was trying not to freak out and remain calm. I was her first delivery! 😂 I felt soooo bad... but, I mean, I didn't know... she told me to push like I was having the baby. 😅
When they ask you if you’re ok with having students watching say YES I said yes and I had my own personal doctor with me through the whole time! Because of her I had a successful pregnancy that did not go into c-section. The doctor arrives when baby is almost out and the nurse was tending to like 5 woman at once. I will never forget the Cuban American doctor that helped and taught those students. It was a blessing!!
My husband was bent over my bed in pain while I was in labour. He was screaming “this isn’t worth it!” Lolololol the Ob said “ I haven’t seen one of you before. I only read about you in text books” I’m laughing and screaming at the same time! He demanded I get the epidural.
@@evarinagarmguardian113 ok here it is….. when I was in labour in the hospital my husband suffered severe sympathy labour pain and the worse it got for me the worse it got for him. The nurses were giggling every time they came in. He was bent over holding his stomach gritting his teeth in pain and I’m trying to calm him down. Just before I went into transition which is the most painful part of the labour he yelling “this isn’t worth it” before demanding I get an epidural. My OBGYN came in and said he’d only read about guys like him in medical text books. It was a complete 5hit show! Lolol once I got the epidural he was so exhausted the nurses made a bed for him beside me so he could rest. I had many nurses quietly coming in and out of my room just to see the show.
@@vintagemoss9578 Daaaaang! Didn't know sympathy labor pains were 1) actually real, and 2) could be that intense! Huh. Ya learn something new everyday! Thanks for sharing 😁
My ex-husband got in my face and said "you need to breathe"....my response was "you need to hush"... later after my emergency c-section he announced that my uterus looked like a pork roast. Hence, we are divorced 🤣 But he's a great dad and great guy in general.
My first baby was at a teaching hospital and I had quite a few nurses in training in the room. My delivery went very very bad and my daughter was right on the verge of death when she was born (she’s very much alive & a teen today!) but a couple of those training nurses got sick and left. The delivery left me badly injured and the nurses watched as the code was called and what I believe was the NICU team ran in to save my baby. Even the doctor and the experienced nurses later told me it was up there as one of the worst births they’ve experienced. I still wonder to this day if the training nurses still all decided to do labor and delivery.
I’ve had four kids. I always let students observe. With my fourth, I wasn’t in much pain. I warned them I have my babies fast, and I usually get sick during transition. My water broke and the nurse started to get prepped for delivery. The students put the giant puppy pad underneath me and started to get ready. Out pops my daughter’s head, and I tell them the head is out, the nurse tells me to go ahead and push. My husband caught our daughter before the nurse had her gloves on. The students told me how awesome that experience was. I never did get sick, so I guess they thought they had more time.
@@breathlesshaste I gasped. I can’t believe they said “oops”. My father tells a story of saying that in his anatomy session while doing a simulation. He said the old Grizzled doctor’s head waaaay in the front shot up like he’d hear a cuss word out of a nuns mouth, stomped over and pushed a finger into his chest, “there may be something going wrong, but if there’s one thing to know during any exam or operation, NEVER say “oops” aloud”. 🙊. You better believe that one stuck
I was an emergency c-section. They didn't numb my mom properly and she could feel them cutting her open, but when she complained the doctor had the gall to tell her, "That's not pain, that's pressure." She very much did not like hearing that.
When I had my son they asked me, “if my students may observe”. . I was like, “sure, how else will they learn?” I thought maybe two humans…no, like three instructors and seven students filed in looking sheepish, nodding awkward hellos and honestly not one looked nervous. It was explained to me later that they rarely get a thumbs up. My lil’ sunshine bear was 6 weeks early but perfect (I’m tiny and they’d given me steroid shots to mature his lungs in the days before). And for some reason I kind of reached down, even though I couldn’t see below the sheet and at that moment he grasped my finger. Everyone gasped and smiled and it was a wonderfully surreal feeling to have both the people I loved and total strangers sharing that moment. He saw nothing but smiles and had the most supportive arrival into this world I could have ever hoped to give him! Awkward became amazing. Some people have asked me since how I could do that and I was like, “why not?”. Everyone there either came out of one, has one, likes them, or will be seeing them everyday. It’s a vagina, not a surprise party. They knew what they were signing up for and I knew it was about being human. Anyschnitzel, it wasn’t about anatomy it was about an incredibly human and unexpectedly beautiful moment. Thank you all so much for the positivity!And, for sort of sharing the experience! ❤️😌❤️
With my 1st kid, i was super embarrassed with anybody looking down there. By my second, I welcomed all med students. "Come on in you gotta learn sometime!"
I had a male student perform a woman’s exam on me. He wasn’t able to “find” my ovaries by palpating. I tried to encourage him by saying “they’re in there” and the NP joined the sentiment in a light hearted way. The student just said “I can’t find them” and whipped his hand out so fast and left the room! The NP had to finish the exam.
One of my male colleague fainted after watching the first delivery No warning, nothing, just face palmed onto the floor It was hilarious and even the mother of the baby was trying to hide her giggles
I once had a patient with severe vaginal bleeding in the ED. She's in the room cleaning herself up, cleaning the bed... calm as can be. Husband is sitting on the floor outside the room hyperventilating and asking for a cold compress because he can't 'handle the blood' and the med student kept telling me to hang the blood 'super STAT'. 🙄 the patient and I wanted to smack them both....
When I had my very premature twins ( born at 25 weeks and 5 days ) their were quite few students their, I wanted a natural birth so my doctor told me I could try but if it was getting dangerous for any of our 3 it would be a C-section, I had to deliver the babies in a fully prepared operating theatre with 2 teams ready for the babies, the first baby( boy) showed up and 2 students hit the floor , baby 2 was still high up and they had to get her out, they pushed on my stomach to get her down which didn't work very well, they put a mask over my face and while I was out they got baby 2 out ( no C-section but I looked like I was run over by truck ) while they got her out my husband and another student hit the floor🤣, both babies survived and just celebrated their 21st birthday.
When I arrived at the hospital my midwife was still stuck in traffic. So they asked if I wanted a doctor or midwife student to deliver my Baby. Without hesitation I say "student!" And she did awesome! Yesterday I went in for an appointment at my midwifes for Baby #7 and they asked if I wouldn't mind having a student be part of the appointment. "That would be great!" I also used to take my kids to a pediatrician office that had students come into appointments during the school semesters. It was awesome! I love that there's the opportunity for students to get this kind of experience! Bonus, we get to help out with people's education just by doing what we need to do! Blessings to all you need students out there! Y'all rock!
I love the trope of just putting a towel on a bloke's head when he's pretending to be a woman. Obviously, we women look like that all the while - nailed it! Aww, Dr Glaucomflecken liked my comment, I'm highly honoured! Thanks, Doc ❤
It's actually kinda interesting to me as sometimes young Assigned Male kids experiencing gender dysphoria will take to wearing a towel or similar on their head in a poorly expressed/understood attempt to look more feminine.(Note, this is far from the only possible reason for that behaviour)
"That's the umbilical cord. Why would a woman give birth to an octopus?" I just got my babies to sleep. If they wake up because I'm laughing, I'm blaming you! 😂
I saved the med student some grief and grabbed my son as he came out and put him on me. She just kind hovered her hands under mine to make sure I wasn't going to drop him or something. The smile she had after. I'm sure she felt as much relief as I did 😂
A student midwife observed me pushing, my water had yet to break and I sprayed her mid push when my water broke 🤣 poor thing lol senior midwife even warned her "you're in the splash zone"
Not a med student, but first year vet med student. My first delivery was a smoll lamb who needed to be pushed back because one of his front legs was positioned incorrectly. The power of the contractions on my hand inside sheep was incredible (and painful, at first I legit considered the possibility of my hand having some bones breaking or some shit, but it held up fine). Lamb came out just fine, and worked as intended. The little fella immediately walked over to momma for some cleaning.
@@lennartvandemerwe6742 oh okay. So its just a typo. Haha. I thought smoll as in its a rare breed of lamb. Like how there are lots of funny breed of dogs/cats from different parts of the world, like caracal or lynx or the furless cat.
yeah had a med student there during mine. my child's father and the med student ended up with orange juice in the corner . they were the only guys in the room lol
I had a trainee midwife after I had given birth, had some stitches done so she went to check them and said out loud, eeewww if that’s what it looks like after I’m not having kids, the older midwife who was training her facepalmed and said can I have a word, I heard shouting then they both came in and the trainer said you look fine 😂 I was like wtf. Got really conscious about it for ages lol.
I remember my wife was giving birth while I was finishing paramedic school and feeling embarrassed because I was about to pass out in front of all the medical staff...
i know of an M1 who INSISTED that she be allowed to attend the c-section of a woman the M1 had been following through labor... the resident said ALRIGHT, but don't faint into the sterile field ... moments into the incision the M1 was on the floor with a nurse gatching her knees there are times assertiveness has a price
I didn’t think this comment would be this popular or I would have placed more emphasis on the grammatical/tense issues - I quickly typed it out midnight as though I was reliving the moment. Dos, no assertiveness here. OB/GYN was the one module I wished I could’ve skipped in EMT-B/P. I can handle the most grisly traumas imaginable (GSWs/MVCs/BFT), medical, etc, - I’m tough, but not OB/GYN tough. Danielle, I agree. A lot of these terms are used synonymously - but that experience crossed beyond the empathy/compassion threshold, which I have for every living organism, into sympathy... I’m glad my wife got an epidural or it might have been even worse for me, but it didn’t help that my wife pointed out my current schooling to the medical staff, who naturally tried to get me further engaged - while they didn’t know I was just simply trying to stand upright by her head. I remember staggering into the bathroom with tunnel vision, splashing cold water onto my face and telling myself to pull it together... Thanks for the memories... the med student in this skit was heartfelt.
Can the girl giving birth refuse to have med students in the room with her? I want to have kids but I certainly don’t want people who are just watching be in my room. It feels sort of odd for me having strangers who aren’t actually helping deliver the baby be in the room.
My mom let a med student help with one of my siblings, but his reaction was pretty much the opposite, if I remember correctly: he was excited and giddy over the baby and it was so sweet ❤️
Me who's not a med student, but I saw my mom labored my sister in home, of course we hired a midwife and a nurse that time. I was just around 9 or 10 years old and that moment, I was just purely amazed on how it is done. I even saw the cord being cut and heard my little sister's first cry.
It’s actually not that bad irl. I attended my first delivery today and my emotions were happy that the baby was healthy and concerned for mom, who was bleeding a lot and in pain-she gave birth super quickly and the epidural didn’t have time to take effect 😅
When I was in the labor, the anesthesiologist told me, “I’ve been doing this a long time, in fact I did the epidural on my wife for all four of our kids”… that did make me feel better 🥰
my friend is a med student and had her first time helping deliver a baby. she is a lil traumatized from it, but she was patient and super carefult and her seniors with her made sure everyone was safe and happy. now delivering babys for her is going pretty smooth, I'm proud of her
I'm a respiratory therapist. I went to EMT school first and EMS wasn't right for me. My one sadness about leaving EMS is that I never got to catch a baby. But now I attend C-sections and I'm often one of the very first people to touch a brand new person, which is pretty cool. There's nothing quite like receiving a limp blue baby and watching it become pink and wiggly in your hands.
I've been in EMS for six years and your brother broke one of the cardinal rules of EMS. Never deliver in the ambulance. Do it either in the house or in the hospital; or at the very least; somewhere someone else has to clean it up.
@@johnswanson2600 he learned a lot of things the hard way that day. But he was a brand new EMT and with a private service back then. It's 27 years later and he's has a long career now as a paramedic & firefighter stationed at an inner-city firehouse, so he's learned some stuff.
The first thing i did in my first clinical exposure as a student was to catch a baby. The fear to catch a baby is real. But the baby's first cry is the most satisfying and beautiful sound.
My son did NOT want to fit. He had a massive head and my skin is apparently very resistant to tears. The doc ended up giving me a little help with a pair of scissors and the next contraction sent him SHOOTING across the table. Kinda glad we no longer have to do this the caveman way.
…sometimes…it fits sometimes. We have been doing it for a long time but we shouldn’t forget that for the overwhelming majority of that time, child birth had a rather high maternal mortality rate.
Women have to have c-sections ALL THE TIME bc their fetus won’t fit. Before last century, the woman would just DIE if the fetus ended up not being able to fit.
I remember being barely conscious, on magnesium, preeclamptic and about to push and the group of terrified med students watching my preemie be born. Must've been a sight. I believe my screams were scaring people so, some may have found out that day if they truly wanted to be there 😂
My mom straight up told me from a young age that childbirth was painful. She arrived too late for them to give her drugs and as she is nearly ready, the doctor comes in. Joyfully, he tells her I am going to be his first baby (ever.) The nursing staff reassured my mom that they knew what they were doing. I wasn't a very nice baby, coming in at seven in the morning.
Congrats to your mom for being such a trooper lol Mine came at almost 7pm, also no pain meds The pain is so intense it's like an out of body experience lol :D not in a good way tho, more like an "I think I'm going to pass out and barf" sort of way
The med student got quite the show with my third delivery. I was in the shower to ease the pain when I felt the rectal pressure. I told my midwife the baby was coming, and we delivered right there, one foot on the seat and squatting. My uterus prolapsed, my midwife was trying to get it off of baby’s shoulders (she was new), and I told her I just wanted the baby out. We got the baby out, and I was focused on my bundle of joy while midwife took care of my uterus. The med student just needed to see a natural birth. 😂
@@clairel34 Yep, prolapsed uterus, one of the numerous possible side effects of pregnancy and childbirth. Alongside your teeth rotting off, tearing from your vagina down to your anus, tearing from up your urethra to clitoris, pooping during childbirth, etc.
I had to take a blood test and since it happened during the peak of COVID restrictions, the patients were full and the hospital staff was severely understaffed and overworked. I waited for ten minutes in the chair with my left upper arm tightly wrapped in rubber before a rattled resident came and profusely apologized for the delay. She pricked me three times before she successfully drew blood, and when she took back the syringe, my blood literally sprayed out like a fountain lol. She was in near tears, but I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I didn't feel much about the ordeal. Except for my stained shirt, and the three haphazard cotton gauzes secured in medical tape, I felt no different. Poor girl kept apologizing even when I told her I really didn't mind and that I was fine.
.... there are so many things wrong with what you just said. Why did they leave you alone with a tournequit on? They shouldn't be on for more then 2 minutes it can affect the outcomes of tests(can cause hemocencentration or hemolysis)and injure you. Also you always remove the tournequit before pulling the needle out, otherwise the pressure causes the blood to spray everywhere 😰
Not you!!! Omg I feel personally attacked. I can't tell you the number of times the resident asked the patient to do something and I thought it was me who should. Catching us like that with no where to run just felt terrible😂😂😂😂
@@Michelleiscul @Michelle C. Glaucom from glaucoma and flecken from flecks. Really simplified version is flecks in the eye caused by glaucoma. The eye being under too much pressure, for a prolonged period of time, can cause necrosis of the epithelial cells. So it's showing where an ulcer in the eye from the necrosis is. Like I said really, really simplified version, but that's the picture. Anyone else have a better definition can correct me.
@@Michelleiscul Well its a combination of two entities, where one happens as a complication of the other, ie, anterior subcapsular cataract caused by primary angle closure glaucoma, both can occur independently also
Honestly the most miserable part of child birth for me was having 6 students + my main dr come in to check my dilation repeatedly over the course of 11 hours. The pain/discomfort of having 6 hands that have no idea what they’re doing jabbing fingers into me was a nightmare.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfrommei hope you are not in healthcare with that attitude. Just cause its a teaching hospital doesnt mean the patient lose their right to good quality care
So did I. I was only in there for a minute or two before mom delivered, had no idea who she was, but the tears came as soon as the baby did. I was even surprised by my reaction, but it really is beautiful and yes, they are a gift from God 💕
Never forget my doc coming in doing a practice push said he'd be back in a hour, 30 seconds late they had to run down the hall to get him then he returned with all of his med students 😂😂 had the baby in 2 pushes.
I saw my first delivery 2 weeks ago and it was a complicated 3 hrs labour with episiotomy. I CLAPPED out of nowhere when the baby is finally out. Thank god people are too busy to hear that clapping
Yeah that happened with me and students of my year , i tried to look away but the my senior pointed his finger towards me and said come here and told me to do it i was about to pass out looking at the sight and when she pushed something big began to come out through the cervix i remember shouting' it's gonna rip her' ' it's gonna rip her' and i passed out .
I was the example where that happened, lol 3B tear + 3x 1st degree tears 2 blood transfusions, about a hundred stitches Precipitous labour is no joke, I gave birth in about 15 minutes
This is worse when you are a female medical student and you imagine yourself in that situation😂. literally I was in hypotension state in my first experience.
All the jokes aside, the mental stress one goes through when watching a delivery for the first time and not fainting is a achievement. Especially for the husband seeing her wife screaming, not to mention all the blood and shit.
Loooove the demeanor of the OB. My primary OB who delivered 3/4 of my kids basically whispers. But he is the most calming presence and just literally the best. This reminded me of him.
the first time i was present at a birth was during my nursing training. I was in the delivery station for a week to gain practical experience. One day we came into a room with a woman who was about to give birth, and while we came into the room the woman was already giving birth standing up and the midwife caught the child under the woman, i helped the woman to get into bed. that was amazing
By the time I finished my first OB rotation, my abs were SOOO sore from pushing every time we told the moms to push! It IS more work when you are doing it six or seven times a day for a month, but I absolutely understand the mom’s look after the student’s comment about the delivery being hard for him!
I remember during a heart transplant surgery the surgeon told a med student to take an open bowl that had the donor heart in it and walk it to an area on the other side of the room. The fear that med student had was palpable. He walked like he was on a tightrope while staring at the bowl with the heart sloshing about with each step. Pretty sure the surgeon had a good laugh with his buddies after.
Lol, I had a med student observing my midwife at my first appointment, I was concerned because I had missed my pap smear that year. The midwife decided to do a quick pelvic because it had been over a year since my last pap. She asked if I was ok with the Med Student staying to observe. So, as she's using the speculum I look over at the student and his eyes were wide and he looked a little shocked. I knew then, that kid wasn't going to be OBGYN. The joys of a teaching hospital. 🤣
I'm not a doctor, but my sister-in-law invited me into the delivery room when my niece was born. I did not feel faint or grossed out, but I can not imagine anything more traumatic for the baby or the mom 😅 My SIL said the expression I had on my face still makes her laugh 19 years later.
I was having a bad day today and just got home to this video in my UA-cam page. It cheered me up so I wanted to comment telling you thank you for making my bad day a little better and bringing a smile to my face.
I saw a birth and the baby came in the amniotic sac (ikn how do you call it in english). It was beautiful. I heard most people faint though I was very excited, but not to fainting level!
This is the funniest video I've seen all day! "Whoa, there's like an octopus or something trying to strangle the baby, what do I do?" Had me giggling out loud!
Finally putting this one back up since taking over my channel from somebody who was impersonating me. Thanks for watching!
Your content makes me get through medical school! Appreciate the humor, doc!

I remember the first time we were allowed to witness a delivery. We observed in a group. 3 fainted and one sang Happy Birthday.

Imma guess the one that sang happy birthday was maybe you or there was 5 med students including you.

My labor went on for 20 hours. I am so grateful for my med student. She was in there with me, being my cheerleader, cleaning me up, getting my husband water/snacks.
She was a waitress for your husband? What was the use of him? Wtf he was even there if he sat there eating and drinking. Fcking men somehow
@@EughhBrothereughh i don't understand your reaction to my comment. She was not made a waitress by anyone, nor did my husband just sit there eating and drinking for 20 hours.

When I was giving birth to my second baby I was alone with the midwife and student midwife. I swear the only thing I was concerned about was how harsh the midwife was to the student 😭 Asking her questions and keep correcting everything she says. I was the one giving birth but all I wanted was to shout Give her a break already!!! Feeling for that poor student was more stressful than pushing a human out of me lol
Yeah, some women in healthcare are absolutely ruthless. They are often very good in their job, but as a student it can absolutely ruin your motivation :/
u should have!
@@ElliLavender absolutely. a coworker of mine has a daughter who wanted to be a midwife but quit because the other midwives at her hospital were all around horrible. good at their job, but extremely critical of newcomers and there was a very strong hierarchy. it's a shame because my country currently has a midwife (and all around nursing) shortage, so the fact that it isn't even the profession itself that's pushing people away is awful. the daughter's still a nurse which is good, she works in psychiatry now
Aww the fact that you were thinking of the student in the middle of your own labor kinda gives me a hint that you're a great person and definitely a good mom! You somehow share the same vibe as my mom, a person who cares 😊 as a student within medical field myself, I thank you for that ma'am
@@ads1175 that’s so sweet of you! I hope I am 🥲😂 it was a tricky situation because the midwife actually was so nice and sweet to me but then so rude and picky towards the student, it felt very unfair to be treated nicely while the student was getting picked apart for every answer she gave
The calm delivery of "Okay, that's the umbilical cord, why would a woman give birth to an octopus?" absolutely cracks me up!
I think OBGYNs are required to be in a strange state of constant zen. They're consistently ready for absolutely anything to go wild and have TWO lives on their hands, if not occasionally more.. All the more reason I couldn't do it! One life is scary enough!

Well sometimes the mom will "hold" dad's hand too strongly. And hard doesnt only mean physical pain, there also mental.
But that is tiny compared to what mom has to carry
@@flordelphinta This is very true. I was saying it as a joke, but truth be told he really was upset as most men are when they see their loved ones give birth to their child. It takes two to get pregnant.
I was asked if a student could be in attendance. I said "Absolutely! In person experience is crucial." Baby came so fast that the student missed it. 😂
LMFAO
The medical student at the birth of my second daughter looked exactly like this. I wasn't sure who he was, so I looked up and said, "Who are you?" and he literally jumped. I didn't mean to scare him and it actually made me start laughing 3 minutes before I unintentionally went through natural childbirth. Which I would have thought was impossible. This video really bought back memories. Thank you so much!
Somewhere in the world there's a new med student in a delivery room quietly chanting to themselves "don't drop the baby, don't drop the baby, don't drop the baby..."
My father (not an MD) delivered my sister in a rural hospital, and the MD walked in just in time to drop her a few inches onto a table. She was calm and quiet until that point, and then they knew she was breathing.
That is the only thing in my head any time I've ever had to hold a baby, until I was able to no longer hold said baby. >.
@@Breathe-In-and-Out the nurse delivering me apparently spanked me when I was born to make me cry (in order to make sure I could breathe). turns out you can just rub the baby with a warm towel instead.
@@pheonixrises11 Yep. I was probably spanked too. I'm told my lips started to turn blue before I took my first breath.
@@pheonixrises11 I just breathed which I supose didn't happen commonly? I did cry however when I was put in water to bathe me. It was a bit cold because it was prepared for when I was EXPECTED to be born and I was hard to deliver. Till this day I can't stand cold water and absolutely love hot one.
Why do I get the feeling this skit was based off a "very" personal memory???😁
Yes judging by his username he is an ophthalmologist now and maybe he is showing us his turning point LOL.
Mom of six here. I always told my nurses & doctors that I’d be fine with anyone extra standing in. Because I didn’t use any pain medication and I liked being a show-off. 😁
My favorite was with baby #5. I told my nurse, “Yeah, if anyone is training or anything I’m fine if they come in.” She said, “Well, there is a new receptionist in labor & delivery, and she hasn’t witnessed a birth yet.”
Poor girl stood in the back of the room trying to hide the horror on her face. She obviously wanted to fit in with her new co-workers who were saying things like, “You’re doing amazing, mom! Keep going!” And she was like, “Oh yeah…this is…so cool…wow…” Baby was born and she was like, “Yeah, I’m gonna leave now…”
The poor receptionist lol
This is my favorite
Remind me to never apply for a receptionist position in L&D 🥴
That's hilarious haha, that poor woman
World need more women like you
my mom saw this and told me that when I was born there were a lot of med tudents in the room . 4 fainted and the rest sang happy birthday when I was born . apparently they were fascinated by the amount of hair I had on my head when I was born and they bathed me an kinda brushed my hair down with their hands . the doc asked her what she felt about the new and coming docs and she said that they were a bunch of wonderful kids and was one of the main reasons she didn't feel uncomfortable as fuck . it's was pretty nice to know.
You know that there is another comment here from someone when he was a med student that says the same story as yours!!
You might have someone who witnessed your birth right here 😅
@@esraasamy8328 omg.... OMG OMG OMG
I saw a comment explaining the same story but from a med student’s pov 😂 small world we live in
EXCUSE ME 😂 There was a med student that commented on the same story😭
damn that was in 2008 , I'm 14 now .
My dad was a paramedic and started at the age of 21 back in the 70's. In his 3rd month of his job he had to deliver his first baby in the back of an ambulance. The mom wasn't even going to the hospital with plans to deliver, she was going to the hospital for a broken tail bone after slipping on ice but the baby decided it was time to come. My dad worked as a paramedic for 38 years said he had never experienced anything so stressful the rest of his career. He's experienced a lot of trauma but he said even seeing severed heads/limbs still didn't stress him out as much as that baby and the screams of the woman birthing with a broken tailbone. OOF.
How did the woman fare afterwards? I hope she recovered, I can't even imagine the pain. Labor AND a broken bone? Gives me the chills.
That sounds HORRENDOUS. I hope she's okay!!!!
Well damn!
I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that story. That poor woman I hope she's okay
@@magenlin we've been doing this for thousands of years, i bet she is fine
I had a student in the room. He asked me during contractions if I am OK with him in the room. I just gasped "suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure" while breathing. During pushing time I looked at him unintentionally. I will FOREVER remember his face. Pure horror, panic, disbelieve and rethinking his career choices. He was so blown away after. He could not stop complimenting me on doing what I just did 😂😂 actually after all that pain I loved the praise!!!
Awwhhhhh lol maybe I should ask for a med student to observe for my first child! 🤣🤣🤣
That’s awesome!
If more men had to observe delivery, they might have more respect for what women go through and how much women risk
It is SO annoying when they ask you questions in the middle of a contraction. For goodness' sakes, not the time!
@@Trogdor1365 yes but he was inexperienced and he asked me for my consent to watch. So it was a kind of necessary question.
@@schneeevchen they should clear that with you in triage. A simple "Are you ok with a student doctor observing during the labor and delivery?" while your coherent enough to think about it would be way more professional and considerate.
Imagine walking past the maternity ward and hearing a distressed med student crying "I wanna be an opthamologist!"
I'm sitting here trying to quietly watch and read the comments till I saw this one amd busted up laughing at this comment

Sure enough, but …. Let’s be honest, would you be willing to put up with all the possible risks and complications to bring new life to the world. I mean, you existing is a testament to that.
It’s considered a biological process, but it’s a very exhilarating biological process from what I gather.
honestly super understandable, i haven't given birth and don't intend to but if i did i wouldn't shut up about it either
Med student during my c- section : "oh my god that's SO MUCH scar tissue, it's horrific"
Surgeon to me: "and we're going to fix it, don't worry mama it's all good"
I could HEAR her glaring at the student from behind the curtain xD
Yeah saying something like ‘it’s horrific’ within earshot of a patient is a huge no no
He added insult to injury smh
Must not have have much experience in surgeries where the patient is paying attention to the action!
@@Doylt I felt sorry for them, but I was in a pretty good mood all things considered so I just chuckled, RIP to that student after the surgery though lololol
This is hilarious 🤣.
Brand new resident got asked to check my fetus' heartbeat. She failed to locate it and started hyperventilating and crying about how to tell me about my supposed miscarriage. The OB momentarily froze in horror (at the resident's actions).
To put this in proper context, I could feel my baby happily kicking my bladder and was completely unconcerned by the news of his supposed demise.
Since I was calm, the attending dragged this student out into the hall for a lecture and then had her come back in and stand in the corner while the attending successfully located my son's heartbeat to demonstrate proper technique. Step one of proper technique is actually turning the doppler ON.
I love residents. Under the care of an attending, they are endless comedy in stressful times.
Oh man, I'm very sorry for the little guy! I'm just a second year med student and finding the heartbeat is still hard for me, but I always supose I'm just incompetent or the machine is broken. From you telling the resident was just in panic before heding into the room or he woukd think that too.
I facepalmed while laughing 😂 I'll never forget when a new cardiologist started panicking because he couldn't find my heart.

@@sarahhavillamelooliveira5825 It was her first rotation, so I think "panic" was a pretty good description. Poor thing was so earnest and just wanted to be a good doctor.
@@hnmarsh1 In my country we practice from day one. Literally. They got us doing anamnesis (the medical interview) with real patients in the third class. It was crazy, but I guess it helps getting used to the first-time-here-panic. When I was in ob/gyn and got to take the first Papanicolau I was absolutely terrified I couldn't find the uterus entrance (I don't remember the term in english) and it turned out it was out of it's normal placement so there is no way a begginer like me would land it, but my teacher was there so everything was fine. My teacher was the best.
With my first, while delivering the plecenta the med student told me to push like I was having the baby. I pushed super hard and it popped out and sprayed blood all over her. It was on the mask and shield and everything she was wearing. She was standing in straight horror and was petrified. You could tell she was trying not to freak out and remain calm. I was her first delivery! 😂 I felt soooo bad... but, I mean, I didn't know... she told me to push like I was having the baby. 😅
😂 you just did what she told you to do!! Bet she never told another mother that line after you...
😂
@@skwabo I bet she went far away from labor and delivery nursing. 😄 🤣. 13 years later, I wonder if that's a story she tells to this day! 🤔 p
Lol, my midwife told me to just give a little cough. 😂
Can it be counted as horror comedy?
When they ask you if you’re ok with having students watching say YES I said yes and I had my own personal doctor with me through the whole time! Because of her I had a successful pregnancy that did not go into c-section. The doctor arrives when baby is almost out and the nurse was tending to like 5 woman at once. I will never forget the Cuban American doctor that helped and taught those students. It was a blessing!!
That's for sure. (Midwife student here). We have more time with the momma's, it's amazing.

My husband was bent over my bed in pain while I was in labour. He was screaming “this isn’t worth it!” Lolololol the Ob said “ I haven’t seen one of you before. I only read about you in text books” I’m laughing and screaming at the same time! He demanded I get the epidural.
Wait, explain???
@@evarinagarmguardian113 ok here it is….. when I was in labour in the hospital my husband suffered severe sympathy labour pain and the worse it got for me the worse it got for him. The nurses were giggling every time they came in. He was bent over holding his stomach gritting his teeth in pain and I’m trying to calm him down. Just before I went into transition which is the most painful part of the labour he yelling “this isn’t worth it” before demanding I get an epidural. My OBGYN came in and said he’d only read about guys like him in medical text books. It was a complete 5hit show! Lolol once I got the epidural he was so exhausted the nurses made a bed for him beside me so he could rest. I had many nurses quietly coming in and out of my room just to see the show.

My first baby was at a teaching hospital and I had quite a few nurses in training in the room. My delivery went very very bad and my daughter was right on the verge of death when she was born (she’s very much alive & a teen today!) but a couple of those training nurses got sick and left. The delivery left me badly injured and the nurses watched as the code was called and what I believe was the NICU team ran in to save my baby. Even the doctor and the experienced nurses later told me it was up there as one of the worst births they’ve experienced. I still wonder to this day if the training nurses still all decided to do labor and delivery.
Im so sorry 💔
I'm glad you both came through 💜
I’ve had four kids. I always let students observe. With my fourth, I wasn’t in much pain. I warned them I have my babies fast, and I usually get sick during transition. My water broke and the nurse started to get prepped for delivery. The students put the giant puppy pad underneath me and started to get ready. Out pops my daughter’s head, and I tell them the head is out, the nurse tells me to go ahead and push. My husband caught our daughter before the nurse had her gloves on. The students told me how awesome that experience was. I never did get sick, so I guess they thought they had more time.
I can only imagine that “it is going to fit?” is in the top ten things you do not want to hear while giving birth.
It sometimes doesn't! And your ass gets ripped ;)
Adding to that list... "Whoops!" And "Oh, ow... that's going to hurt later." Heard both of those during my son's delivery.
Yep. My niece was delivered via cesarean because she wasn’t gonna fit through the standard exit
@@breathlesshaste I gasped. I can’t believe they said “oops”. My father tells a story of saying that in his anatomy session while doing a simulation. He said the old Grizzled doctor’s head waaaay in the front shot up like he’d hear a cuss word out of a nuns mouth, stomped over and pushed a finger into his chest, “there may be something going wrong, but if there’s one thing to know during any exam or operation, NEVER say “oops” aloud”. 🙊. You better believe that one stuck
I was an emergency c-section. They didn't numb my mom properly and she could feel them cutting her open, but when she complained the doctor had the gall to tell her, "That's not pain, that's pressure." She very much did not like hearing that.
When I had my son they asked me, “if my students may observe”. . I was like, “sure, how else will they learn?” I thought maybe two humans…no, like three instructors and seven students filed in looking sheepish, nodding awkward hellos and honestly not one looked nervous. It was explained to me later that they rarely get a thumbs up. My lil’ sunshine bear was 6 weeks early but perfect (I’m tiny and they’d given me steroid shots to mature his lungs in the days before). And for some reason I kind of reached down, even though I couldn’t see below the sheet and at that moment he grasped my finger. Everyone gasped and smiled and it was a wonderfully surreal feeling to have both the people I loved and total strangers sharing that moment. He saw nothing but smiles and had the most supportive arrival into this world I could have ever hoped to give him! Awkward became amazing. Some people have asked me since how I could do that and I was like, “why not?”. Everyone there either came out of one, has one, likes them, or will be seeing them everyday. It’s a vagina, not a surprise party. They knew what they were signing up for and I knew it was about being human. Anyschnitzel, it wasn’t about anatomy it was about an incredibly human and unexpectedly beautiful moment.

With my 1st kid, i was super embarrassed with anybody looking down there. By my second, I welcomed all med students. "Come on in you gotta learn sometime!"
😂 the attitude I wanna have too one day
I had a male student perform a woman’s exam on me. He wasn’t able to “find” my ovaries by palpating. I tried to encourage him by saying “they’re in there” and the NP joined the sentiment in a light hearted way. The student just said “I can’t find them” and whipped his hand out so fast and left the room! The NP had to finish the exam.
One of my male colleague fainted after watching the first delivery
No warning, nothing, just face palmed onto the floor
It was hilarious and even the mother of the baby was trying to hide her giggles
I once had a patient with severe vaginal bleeding in the ED. She's in the room cleaning herself up, cleaning the bed... calm as can be. Husband is sitting on the floor outside the room hyperventilating and asking for a cold compress because he can't 'handle the blood' and the med student kept telling me to hang the blood 'super STAT'. 🙄 the patient and I wanted to smack them both....

When I had my very premature twins ( born at 25 weeks and 5 days ) their were quite few students their, I wanted a natural birth so my doctor told me I could try but if it was getting dangerous for any of our 3 it would be a C-section, I had to deliver the babies in a fully prepared operating theatre with 2 teams ready for the babies, the first baby( boy) showed up and 2 students hit the floor , baby 2 was still high up and they had to get her out, they pushed on my stomach to get her down which didn't work very well, they put a mask over my face and while I was out they got baby 2 out ( no C-section but I looked like I was run over by truck ) while they got her out my husband and another student hit the floor🤣, both babies survived and just celebrated their 21st birthday.
When I arrived at the hospital my midwife was still stuck in traffic. So they asked if I wanted a doctor or midwife student to deliver my Baby. Without hesitation I say "student!" And she did awesome! Yesterday I went in for an appointment at my midwifes for Baby #7 and they asked if I wouldn't mind having a student be part of the appointment. "That would be great!"
I also used to take my kids to a pediatrician office that had students come into appointments during the school semesters. It was awesome! I love that there's the opportunity for students to get this kind of experience! Bonus, we get to help out with people's education just by doing what we need to do!

"That's the umbilical cord. Why would a woman give birth to an octopus?"
I just got my babies to sleep. If they wake up because I'm laughing, I'm blaming you! 😂
I saved the med student some grief and grabbed my son as he came out and put him on me. She just kind hovered her hands under mine to make sure I wasn't going to drop him or something. The smile she had after. I'm sure she felt as much relief as I did 😂
A student midwife observed me pushing, my water had yet to break and I sprayed her mid push when my water broke 🤣 poor thing lol senior midwife even warned her "you're in the splash zone"
Not a med student, but first year vet med student. My first delivery was a smoll lamb who needed to be pushed back because one of his front legs was positioned incorrectly. The power of the contractions on my hand inside sheep was incredible (and painful, at first I legit considered the possibility of my hand having some bones breaking or some shit, but it held up fine). Lamb came out just fine, and worked as intended. The little fella immediately walked over to momma for some cleaning.

I had a trainee midwife after I had given birth, had some stitches done so she went to check them and said out loud, eeewww if that’s what it looks like after I’m not having kids, the older midwife who was training her facepalmed and said can I have a word, I heard shouting then they both came in and the trainer said you look fine 😂 I was like wtf. Got really conscious about it for ages lol.
My OB team was 100% honest and told me it looked like a shotgun blast down there before they spent 3 hours stitching it up 😰
I remember my wife was giving birth while I was finishing paramedic school and feeling embarrassed because I was about to pass out in front of all the medical staff...

I didn’t think this comment would be this popular or I would have placed more emphasis on the grammatical/tense issues - I quickly typed it out midnight as though I was reliving the moment.
Dos, no assertiveness here. OB/GYN was the one module I wished I could’ve skipped in EMT-B/P. I can handle the most grisly traumas imaginable (GSWs/MVCs/BFT), medical, etc, - I’m tough, but not OB/GYN tough.
Danielle, I agree. A lot of these terms are used synonymously - but that experience crossed beyond the empathy/compassion threshold, which I have for every living organism, into sympathy... I’m glad my wife got an epidural or it might have been even worse for me, but it didn’t help that my wife pointed out my current schooling to the medical staff, who naturally tried to get me further engaged - while they didn’t know I was just simply trying to stand upright by her head. I remember staggering into the bathroom with tunnel vision, splashing cold water onto my face and telling myself to pull it together...
Thanks for the memories... the med student in this skit was heartfelt.
Can the girl giving birth refuse to have med students in the room with her? I want to have kids but I certainly don’t want people who are just watching be in my room. It feels sort of odd for me having strangers who aren’t actually helping deliver the baby be in the room.
Is this Dr. G's ophthalmology origin story? ❤
This is semi-autobiographical
@@DGlaucomflecken I knew it wasn't just good acting 🤣
@@DGlaucomflecken are you the baby, the mother or the med student in this situation?
My mom let a med student help with one of my siblings, but his reaction was pretty much the opposite, if I remember correctly: he was excited and giddy over the baby and it was so sweet ❤️
Me who's not a med student, but I saw my mom labored my sister in home, of course we hired a midwife and a nurse that time. I was just around 9 or 10 years old and that moment, I was just purely amazed on how it is done. I even saw the cord being cut and heard my little sister's first cry.
Aww! What a precious memory! (As long as it didn't traumatize you lol)
That med student is going through more emotions than the patient.
It’s actually not that bad irl. I attended my first delivery today and my emotions were happy that the baby was healthy and concerned for mom, who was bleeding a lot and in pain-she gave birth super quickly and the epidural didn’t have time to take effect 😅
When I was in the labor, the anesthesiologist told me, “I’ve been doing this a long time, in fact I did the epidural on my wife for all four of our kids”… that did make me feel better 🥰
When we witnessed a delivery one of my friend said " I maybe will be in this labour room for 1000 times but I'll never be the one laying on the bed"
my friend is a med student and had her first time helping deliver a baby. she is a lil traumatized from it, but she was patient and super carefult and her seniors with her made sure everyone was safe and happy. now delivering babys for her is going pretty smooth, I'm proud of her
Just saw my first delivery last Friday. I stood there like a deer in headlights and then when the whole baby came out I cried 😂
Maybe don’t talk exclusively in language that implies the mother isn’t there and isn’t doing anything
@@M_SC hahaha you're joking, right?
Hilarious on the med student... snd shout out to the EMT's: my lil' bro delivered his first baby at age 18 in the back of an ambulance.
I'm a respiratory therapist. I went to EMT school first and EMS wasn't right for me. My one sadness about leaving EMS is that I never got to catch a baby. But now I attend C-sections and I'm often one of the very first people to touch a brand new person, which is pretty cool. There's nothing quite like receiving a limp blue baby and watching it become pink and wiggly in your hands.
I've been in EMS for six years and your brother broke one of the cardinal rules of EMS. Never deliver in the ambulance. Do it either in the house or in the hospital; or at the very least; somewhere someone else has to clean it up.
@@johnswanson2600 he learned a lot of things the hard way that day. But he was a brand new EMT and with a private service back then. It's 27 years later and he's has a long career now as a paramedic & firefighter stationed at an inner-city firehouse, so he's learned some stuff.
@@apisme9090 I bet he has! That's a heck of a lot of experience, and I'm sure he's got a lot of stories to tell.
@@clarewhite3004 that is so exciting and special. The closest I've gotten is obsessively watching Call the Midwife.
The first thing i did in my first clinical exposure as a student was to catch a baby. The fear to catch a baby is real. But the baby's first cry is the most satisfying and beautiful sound.
“I don’t think it’s gonna fit”
Our mammalian ancestors from 100 million years ago: “trust me it fits”
"Look, we started delivering these things SUPER underdeveloped compared to most mammals to be sure they'd fit. It'll fit."
My son did NOT want to fit. He had a massive head and my skin is apparently very resistant to tears. The doc ended up giving me a little help with a pair of scissors and the next contraction sent him SHOOTING across the table. Kinda glad we no longer have to do this the caveman way.
…sometimes…it fits sometimes.
We have been doing it for a long time but we shouldn’t forget that for the overwhelming majority of that time, child birth had a rather high maternal mortality rate.
Our heads have actually gotten bigger, and some pelvises smaller over time. So it being less likely to fit can ring true sometimes in modern days..
Women have to have c-sections ALL THE TIME bc their fetus won’t fit. Before last century, the woman would just DIE if the fetus ended up not being able to fit.
That's the most angelic OB resident/consultant I've ever seen.
The first NSVD I assisted everyone's screaming☠️☠️☠️
if only all OB residents/consultants are like that, it would be less stressful for mothers and med students
@@bogeyisaacthedogs2122 they're literally handling the most fragile lifeforms in the world and one mistake can mean the death of two people.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme even so, that is no reason to just be a wuss right? As if screaming can help anyone learn better
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme eh. Babies aren't that fragile. Neither are pregnant women absent complications
I remember being barely conscious, on magnesium, preeclamptic and about to push and the group of terrified med students watching my preemie be born. Must've been a sight. I believe my screams were scaring people so, some may have found out that day if they truly wanted to be there 😂
My mom straight up told me from a young age that childbirth was painful. She arrived too late for them to give her drugs and as she is nearly ready, the doctor comes in.
Joyfully, he tells her I am going to be his first baby (ever.)
The nursing staff reassured my mom that they knew what they were doing. I wasn't a very nice baby, coming in at seven in the morning.
Congrats to your mom for being such a trooper lol
Mine came at almost 7pm, also no pain meds
The pain is so intense it's like an out of body experience lol :D not in a good way tho, more like an "I think I'm going to pass out and barf" sort of way
@@carolyne803 pain unaldetered
Today in nursing school, I found out I work in the same hospital as you! So exciting 😆 (Also, my professors use your videos in our Med-Surg lectures).
Wow exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👏 😀
The beginning reminds me of my cousin telling me she wanted to be a dermatologist because she didn’t want to see blood 🤣
Thats kind of ironic since dermatologists still have to see blood when they do minor surgeries to remove small skin tumors and lipomas and such
Shes gonna see most ugliest thing as a dermatologist man
Man I'd rather see blood over the stuff a dermatologist deals with lmao
Seems like they were only concerned about the paycheck and not the actual work.
What did she end up as? If you don't want blood, be a pathologist
The med student got quite the show with my third delivery. I was in the shower to ease the pain when I felt the rectal pressure. I told my midwife the baby was coming, and we delivered right there, one foot on the seat and squatting. My uterus prolapsed, my midwife was trying to get it off of baby’s shoulders (she was new), and I told her I just wanted the baby out. We got the baby out, and I was focused on my bundle of joy while midwife took care of my uterus. The med student just needed to see a natural birth. 😂
Prolapsed...ut?
I'm 16 weeks and these comments were a mistaaaaaaaaake
@@clairel34 Yep, prolapsed uterus, one of the numerous possible side effects of pregnancy and childbirth. Alongside your teeth rotting off, tearing from your vagina down to your anus, tearing from up your urethra to clitoris, pooping during childbirth, etc.
@clairel34 it sounds scary but usually it's easily fixable. Don't worry, you'll do great!
@@BillyBob-jg1gq Thank youu 💖
@@clairel34 I don't think there is any pain, you just gotta.. for lack of better words.. push it back in.
I had to take a blood test and since it happened during the peak of COVID restrictions, the patients were full and the hospital staff was severely understaffed and overworked. I waited for ten minutes in the chair with my left upper arm tightly wrapped in rubber before a rattled resident came and profusely apologized for the delay. She pricked me three times before she successfully drew blood, and when she took back the syringe, my blood literally sprayed out like a fountain lol. She was in near tears, but I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I didn't feel much about the ordeal. Except for my stained shirt, and the three haphazard cotton gauzes secured in medical tape, I felt no different. Poor girl kept apologizing even when I told her I really didn't mind and that I was fine.
.... there are so many things wrong with what you just said. Why did they leave you alone with a tournequit on? They shouldn't be on for more then 2 minutes it can affect the outcomes of tests(can cause hemocencentration or hemolysis)and injure you. Also you always remove the tournequit before pulling the needle out, otherwise the pressure causes the blood to spray everywhere 😰
Not you!!! Omg I feel personally attacked. I can't tell you the number of times the resident asked the patient to do something and I thought it was me who should.
Catching us like that with no where to run just felt terrible😂😂😂😂
I will forever remember the first c section I saw when the surgeon pulled the baby out I almost had a heart attack
I had a nurse student observing for my delivery. He was amazing and super kind! 👌
The gentleness in the “Not you.” Was just so wholesome. 😇😇😇
*I WANNA BE A OPTHALMOLOGIST* 😂😂OMG Idied laughing
Me too 🤣
Today I learnt wot Glaucomflecken means in my ophthalmology class, i never thought it was a medical term 😂
What does it mean? 😂😂
@@Michelleiscul clearly Niranjan Viswam was assassinated for knowing too much.
@@Michelleiscul @Michelle C. Glaucom from glaucoma and flecken from flecks. Really simplified version is flecks in the eye caused by glaucoma. The eye being under too much pressure, for a prolonged period of time, can cause necrosis of the epithelial cells. So it's showing where an ulcer in the eye from the necrosis is. Like I said really, really simplified version, but that's the picture. Anyone else have a better definition can correct me.
@@Michelleiscul Well its a combination of two entities, where one happens as a complication of the other, ie, anterior subcapsular cataract caused by primary angle closure glaucoma, both can occur independently also
That sounds like a very dutch word
Honestly the most miserable part of child birth for me was having 6 students + my main dr come in to check my dilation repeatedly over the course of 11 hours. The pain/discomfort of having 6 hands that have no idea what they’re doing jabbing fingers into me was a nightmare.
You're a champion. I'm glad I'm a man lol
Don't give birth in a teaching hospital then.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfrommei hope you are not in healthcare with that attitude. Just cause its a teaching hospital doesnt mean the patient lose their right to good quality care
horrible. was there any way for you to object?
Oh hell no!!! That sounds awful!!!
First time I witness a delivery I cried its a blessing from the God to have a child
So did I. I was only in there for a minute or two before mom delivered, had no idea who she was, but the tears came as soon as the baby did. I was even surprised by my reaction, but it really is beautiful and yes, they are a gift from God 💕
Never forget my doc coming in doing a practice push said he'd be back in a hour, 30 seconds late they had to run down the hall to get him then he returned with all of his med students 😂😂 had the baby in 2 pushes.
“so slippery” 😂 😂 😂 , moment that everything he learned in med school was tossed in the trash bin, just pure instinctive reaction
"Is it gonna fit?" we have the same question, doctor.
I saw my first delivery 2 weeks ago and it was a complicated 3 hrs labour with episiotomy.
I CLAPPED out of nowhere when the baby is finally out. Thank god people are too busy to hear that clapping
The classic towel on the head and now I am a woman trick. I love it ahhaha
I was waiting to see the mother's reaction after that last statement! No disappointments!! 😂
It's so good to see how everyone in comments telling their own experiences 😊
Yeah that happened with me and students of my year , i tried to look away but the my senior pointed his finger towards me and said come here and told me to do it i was about to pass out looking at the sight and when she pushed something big began to come out through the cervix i remember shouting' it's gonna rip her' ' it's gonna rip her' and i passed out .
I was the example where that happened, lol
3B tear + 3x 1st degree tears
2 blood transfusions, about a hundred stitches
Precipitous labour is no joke, I gave birth in about 15 minutes
This is worse when you are a female medical student and you imagine yourself in that situation😂. literally I was in hypotension state in my first experience.
"that is the hardest thing I've ever done"
*disbelief*
All the jokes aside, the mental stress one goes through when watching a delivery for the first time and not fainting is a achievement.
Especially for the husband seeing her wife screaming, not to mention all the blood and shit.
“Think of it as a different kind of dilation”
😂🤦🏼♀️ omg! The shit you come up with!! Seriously! 😂
Loooove the demeanor of the OB. My primary OB who delivered 3/4 of my kids basically whispers. But he is the most calming presence and just literally the best. This reminded me of him.
The med student is having a harder time than the mom
The is the hardest thing i have ever done , said the medical student not the mum 😂 the mother's reaction is hilarious 😂
The med student starting pushed into a corner aksjsk relatable
Honestly i am really happy to watch from far away
"That is the hardest thing I've ever done"
The mom who went through labour for hours and gave birth to the baby:👁👄👁
“I wanna be an ophthalmologist” after peeking under the covers made me pee a little 🤣
the first time i was present at a birth was during my nursing training. I was in the delivery station for a week to gain practical experience. One day we came into a room with a woman who was about to give birth, and while we came into the room the woman was already giving birth standing up and the midwife caught the child under the woman, i helped the woman to get into bed. that was amazing
By the time I finished my first OB rotation, my abs were SOOO sore from pushing every time we told the moms to push! It IS more work when you are doing it six or seven times a day for a month, but I absolutely understand the mom’s look after the student’s comment about the delivery being hard for him!
The look on the new mom's face is precious
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm glad I made it known I was going into Pathology... They just had me hold a leg 😂😂😂😂
I remember during a heart transplant surgery the surgeon told a med student to take an open bowl that had the donor heart in it and walk it to an area on the other side of the room. The fear that med student had was palpable. He walked like he was on a tightrope while staring at the bowl with the heart sloshing about with each step. Pretty sure the surgeon had a good laugh with his buddies after.
Lol, I had a med student observing my midwife at my first appointment, I was concerned because I had missed my pap smear that year. The midwife decided to do a quick pelvic because it had been over a year since my last pap. She asked if I was ok with the Med Student staying to observe. So, as she's using the speculum I look over at the student and his eyes were wide and he looked a little shocked. I knew then, that kid wasn't going to be OBGYN. The joys of a teaching hospital. 🤣
I'm not a doctor, but my sister-in-law invited me into the delivery room when my niece was born. I did not feel faint or grossed out, but I can not imagine anything more traumatic for the baby or the mom 😅 My SIL said the expression I had on my face still makes her laugh 19 years later.
I was having a bad day today and just got home to this video in my UA-cam page. It cheered me up so I wanted to comment telling you thank you for making my bad day a little better and bringing a smile to my face.
I hope your day will continue to be better and tomorrow will be a wonderful day
I saw a birth and the baby came in the amniotic sac (ikn how do you call it in english). It was beautiful. I heard most people faint though I was very excited, but not to fainting level!
This is the funniest video I've seen all day! "Whoa, there's like an octopus or something trying to strangle the baby, what do I do?" Had me giggling out loud!
