Montezuma's Revenge

Well, at least that's what they call it in Mexico.  After only having a piece of toast with pb& j on it, had a bout of  diarrhea (possibly TMI =-). Took Pepto Bismol tablets every hour X 3 hours while at hospital.  Made it through my shift at the hospital.

I was the preceptor for same two nursing students.  Me, them and a midwife took care of the postpartum ward again.  Although there were only 4 postpartum women, three pregnant women (1 preeclampsia, 1 preterm labor and 1 with a placenta previa).

When I got home, I had some lunch and then just felt I had to lay down.  I crashed for a couple hours.  I think it all just caught up to me,  diverted flights, lost bags, 4 hour time difference.  The other 3 that arrived the day I did, were still in their own time zone.  They're all from Virginia.  And I have been trying to keep up with them all since I got here.  I actually feel much better after my nap.  I may go on a field clinic tomorrow.  But we haven't decided who is going to be where.

Today Sarah, CPM, and I shared a mototaxi on way to hospital.  On the way home I rode with Dr. Steve and Dr. Alice on the house's 3 wheeler.

First photo is of a baby that was born yesterday.  Second one is the 3 of us on the 3 wheeler leaving the hospital, still on hospital grounds. The third is of the class that was going on when I got to the house this afternoon.  They currently have two midwife classes going.  One is at clinical Monday and Tuesday, the other in classroom.  Then they switch for Wednesday and Thursday.  I don't know yet what they do in Friday.
