  1. Bizzare

    magz53 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just when you think you have seen it all...........spent my evening with a laboring patient who had 3 male " significant others " coaching her, peering into her separated labia while she was pushing...

  2. Bizzare

    magz53 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    May I add to my own Bizzare thread ??? What is wrong with this picture ?? Professed lesbian pregnant by a 65 year old man ( Makes me want to sing the song "Viva Viagra" ) and both of them saying...

  3. Bizzare

    magz53 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is no small coincidence that when you look at the spot on the chart that says religion..........most times you will see "no affiliation". We live in an increasingly amoral society. I don't have...

  4. Bizzare

    magz53 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our society is becoming increasingly amoral. I am not a saint, nor claiming to be but having sex with 3 different males ( I refuse to call them "men" ) obviously within days or hours of one another...

  5. Bizzare

    magz53 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I needed a break from the drama during pushing and left the room to get a drink and expressed my dismay to a co-worker that all three were staring closesly at her crotch. My co-worker replied, "Well,...

  6. Love OB/GYN--Hate coworkers

    magz53 replied to Vroom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am in a small hospital as well. Our ICU and OR are units as you describe........they are vicious to one another and other units. The hospital has spent a fortune trying to rectify the problem with...

    magz53 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. Healthy women schedule C-sections to prevent vaginal stretching

    magz53 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And MANY MANY MORE NURSES TO FOLLOW YOU

  9. labor and delivery nurse-patient ratio

    magz53 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I only wish the "public" knew what really happens behind the scenes. They are the only ones who can make a difference. Nurses are powerless. Therein lies our frustration. We know how to give good...

  10. Healthy women schedule C-sections to prevent vaginal stretching

    magz53 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I repeat everything I said on my October post ........WHY ARE INSURANCE COMPANIES PAYING FOR UNNECCESSARY SURGERIES ??? I have seen docs make up reasons, such as repeat C/S.......on a primip. High...

  11. DR/Nurse relationship??

    magz53 replied to Angela Hancock's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Nice to have a professional respectful relationship. It can be very satisfying. While the docs may be giving you more "freedom" on nights......stop and think of the reasons for that. Trust me, if...

  12. OB's that push epidurals on patients

    magz53 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have actually had patients sitting with the baby's head on the perineum during epidural placement pushing !!!!! Our anesthesia has to be called in ( they are not in the hospital........another...

  13. are VBAC's pretty safe?

    magz53 replied to JulieRN07's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In 20 years, I have seen one "rupture". It was a VBAC who delivered successfully with no problem and went into shock in the recovery period. Lochia normal, fundus firm, BP falling, HR rising,...

  14. OB's that push epidurals on patients

    magz53 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow ! That is a fantastic response and put it right on his level and gave him food for

  15. Did I do the right thing??

    magz53 replied to AlmostThere:)'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    I too have to chime in and say that IMHO med-surg experience is helpful before jumping into any specialty. However, we all know that it will be argued for all time and some will do well coming...

  16. Managing Pitocin Augmentation, again...

    magz53 replied to californianclextaker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You can never get in trouble if you follow your policy on pitocin. Ours is 3 contx in 10 minutes for a goal. When you have hyperstim, the fetus is in jeopardy and can decompensate quickly and then...

  17. Uterine Inversion !!!!

    magz53 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just had the evening from you-know-where. A nice delivery turned into hell with the delivery of the placenta and a uterine inversion. Mom went downhill pretty quickly. We are a rural hospital where...

  18. Uterine Inversion !!!!

    magz53 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The blood loss was a large amount, but not gushing or spurting. I think it was the combo of the uterus inside out and becoming hypoxic somewhat that sent her into shock. The cervix clamped down and...

  19. OB's that push epidurals on patients

    magz53 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have an OB who pushes epidurals as soon as possible so he can "do his thing" stretching the cervix and " the fibers "......all the while mumbling like the woman has some anatomical error he has...

  20. Question from a new L & D RN

    magz53 replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I find this most difficult as well, having as many as 12-14 people in the room. Yes, it is a family celebration, but the hospital I work in has gone over the limit as far as "customer satisfaction."...

  21. Uterine Inversion !!!!

    magz53 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks everyone for your support........only an L + D nurse could know how horrible it was. Yes there was cord traction.....and I will testify to that if it comes down to it. As an update though,...

  22. Docs C/S rates

    magz53 replied to PattonD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Patton, you are right to be concerned. Once a pt. comes to the hospital, the clock is ticking. If a mom does not progress, she is headed for a c-section. Failure to progress, CPD, it is anyone's...

  23. Healthy women schedule C-sections to prevent vaginal stretching

    magz53 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know why insurance companies who dictate so much of what can be done in the medical setting are paying for elective surgery. Are all the docs lying and submitting fake medical reasons for the...

  24. Healthy women schedule C-sections to prevent vaginal stretching

    magz53 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    To get back to the original question of whether c-sections are done electively to preserve a lady parts.......I actually saw an OB write in the chart......"elective ceserean chosen to preserve the...

  25. Bipolar Manic After Delivery

    magz53 replied to NITEOBRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have seen mania in a pt. with NO previous history. We need to remember that bi-polar disorder is a BIOLOGICALLY based illness that is affected by stress, hormones and other physical factors. My...
