Mine was catching a newborn baby with my bare hands.
During my House Job, we were having one of those chaotic O&G calls where everybody was occupied with emergencies. In the middle of the chaos, this woman was already pushing almost unnoticed.
Suddenly, the babyโs head was out.
And there was nobody there to deliver him.
Before anyone could react, the baby slipped out completely and was about to fall straight onto the concrete floor. And if that happens, he'd even pull the placenta along and only God knows what will happen.
From afar, I saw it and ran. No gloves, no time to think, just pure reflex.
I caught the baby seconds before disaster.
Honestly, it was something I dreaded so much. Blood, liquor and everything possible touched me. I spent the entire day washing my hands reflexively while my colleagues kept laughing at me ๐ฉ
But if I could go back to that exact moment again, Iโll still do it again. Saving that baby was totally worth it.
Whatโs the worst exposure youโve ever had on duty?
Mine:
A very sick child vomited on me while I was checking her blood pressure. It went straight into my mouth ๐ญ
I was salivating for hours after that.
