Mom’s Tinfoil Hat

Pull me out and tent me with foil because

Posted in Uncategorized by MomTFH on June 25, 2009

I’m done.

Done done done done.

There is a distinct possibility I may not have to study for anything for an entire year. I may possibly *gasp* read some fiction.

      Oh, I am sure you felt as wrung out yet relieved as I do.

    Congrats on being done!
    Aren’t you going on to clinical rotations now? Mine all came with final exams at the end – did they stop that?

      Thanks! I am taking a year off to do a research fellowship, then I do rotations. I am looking forward to them, especially ob/gyn, of course.

        Congrats on your hard work. Make sure you also read some female Playboy, which to me is US Weekly and People mag.

    Ooh, a research year sounds fun. What will you be working on? When you get to clinical rotations, if you’d like to spend time with a family doc in the middle of a cornfield who does family-centered obstetrics to counteract your hospital based OB rotation, look me up!

    Oooh, that is so tempting. Thanks for the invite!

    I will be researching ob/gyn topics mostly, I hope. I am going to try to do a research topic on doulas and their influence on labor outcomes. I originally wanted to do the research with women on welfare, which still may be a possibility. But, I found some open grants on PPD. I may still do the work with doulas, but I may focus on more than just the typical maternal and neonatal outcomes. I may apply for the grant and also look at mental health aspects of having continuous labor support. I am interested in that anyway, and I found a researcher nearby who has already done some work on autonomy in the birthing process.

    It will be harder to research mental illness and autonomy, but if other researchers have already paved the way with accepted scales to rate autonomy, and others have already created acceptable scales for depression, I may be able to incorporate these outcomes without too much extra trouble.
