Lesson learnt: never stand at the end of the bed of a lady in labour!

Today, as I stood at the corner of the bed observing a senior doctor examining a patient, who was just about to deliver the head of the baby, he put pressure on her abdomen with his hand. Suddenly, a gush of clear amniotic fluid (nearly up to 1L) sprayed out of her vagina in high velocity over 1 metre onto two house officers standing at the end of the bed.

We gasped in response to gush of liquor and then laughed at the two soaked Indian girls covered in amniotic fluid, standing there with their arms wide apart looking stunned.

They were sent home to have a shower and wash the liquor out of their hair. haha..

So today's lesson is, to never stand at the end of the bed of a lady in labour.
