very first delivery
This morning in the hospital I attended my very first delivery, which was a caesarean section. The day approached like all others; part of my training that I have to see and acquire sufficient knowledge about. I put on the theatre cloths, found my supervisor, walked with her into the room, peeked at the woman with swollen belly on the operating table and exchanged greeting nods with her and her husband who looked somewhat worried. Then I found myself a good spot to observe the procedure without standing in the nurse?s way, all the while going through the steps in my head which I had read the night before.
It all went fine and according to plan, though very strange to me. Then there was the final cut to make in the last layer before reaching the baby, whose head suddenly emerged in a pool of fluid, and was pulled out together with the rest of him through the incision. At this point, found myself happy and smiling.
I had never seen the woman or her husband before and I didn?t know any of the medical staff in that room, other than my supervisor. Yet, for some strange reason, as soon as the little creature came from the cut open abdomen covered in pinkish blue - there was a sudden detachment from science, and an overwhelming sensation of happiness coming from somewhere deep in my heart.
It is this essence of our emotions that is beyond realms of our understanding, despite persistent attempts to define. We may know little about what makes us happy, sad, loved or tearful but this is nothing other than splashes on the side of mysterious waters we don?t have access to.
