Up on D6

I know it's been quite some time since I've blogged anything substantial. With clerkship revving up, it's been a struggle to find the time to put anything creative to paper (metaphorically speaking). Most of the time, I'm just trying to balance life as I know it - stressing out, procrastinating, and doting on Sandlot.

Now on my first week of pediatrics, I find myself with a brief abundance of time (or rather lack of study pressure). And while I'm quaking in my boots about my soon-to-be-exposed lack of knowledge, I see myself as being faced with a simple choice: I could study to try to achieve some level of competence, or I could write a song about my time on Obstetrics & Gynaecology.

I think the choice is obvious.

At my home hospital, which we'll call "Sunnydale", the Gynaecology floor is D6. Every morning that I trekked up there, I couldn't help but let my mind wander to Far East Movement's alphabetically similar pop hit.

The inevitable result? The following lighthearted and irreverent would-be one-hit-wonder.

Poppin’ babies out of moms, like a fellow
Epidural got her out feelin’ mellow
