whitewriterIn 30 mins I will leave for my last shift as a permanent staffer at SSH.
I've been grinning for weeks and telling my work peeps I'll see them on the casual pool.
Leaving, but not leaving is how I'd describe it.
I've sorta gotten used to the place.
Not used to the work mind you. I still panic just thinking about dealing with a woman in second stage.
The night senior told this harrowing tale.
Night senior was helping out one of the juniors (at that time pregnant but not known to her) - with a VE. Junior said she was feeling something and wasn't sure if it was what she thought it was.
It was an extremely busy night; senior went into redo the VE. (I'm sure she consented and discussed and the rest of it) - when she put her hand inside the woman's vagina, the woman, all of a sudden, clamped down on her hand with her thighs and flipped over into all fours faster than anyone can blink, twisting the senior's arm whilst doing so.
(can you imagine)
Then when she managed to untangle from [the vagina], the waters broke - mec liquor - all on to the edge of the bed. The senior stood up; and went to get a towel for the liquor - turned her back for a mere second - when the woman (pregnant, term , mind you ) launched herself onto her back! - smushing the senior, into the (mec mind you) liquor.
The junior and the woman's husband is trying to talk her down and eventually they do -
and the senior leaves the room - she has 2 other births to attend -
Later that shift the family apologise... and the husband tells her that she knows her husband -- (the seniors husband) making the situation all the more awkward. They're staff at MSH too. Not that at the time of the incident- the night senior knew, --
As with most injuries - it's not until after the spate of births that she realises she's f-ed something in her shoulder ; and when she gets home, her back too.
It's a month of leave - loads of physio and then some- until finally, she can come back to work on reduced shifts because by the 4th it gets too much. It's been 3 months and she's still feeling the effects of the torn muscles (as she describes it) in her back and rotator cuff.
That's currently the wildest "woman in second stage" story I've heard.
Pete questioned if this was assault.
The manager (no one likes) made her fill out endless OH and S forms.
Albeit how do you prevent someone from doing a body flip during a VE? I've never seen anyone tell the woman to remain still during the exam - isn't that a given?
Pete wondered if this was victim blaming.
