I was in-charged of antenatal ward for the past 4 months.
There were one group of patients who were admitted to the ward for placenta praevia. Placenta praevia is a condition whereby the placenta is located at the lower segment and at some degree, it will obstruct the birth canal. Hence, patients have to undergo caesarean section. Those patient will be admitted to the ward at the later period of pregnancy. This is because, due to the low lying placenta, they can developed per vaginal bleeding anytime which can lead to torrential bleed. This can cost them a life. Therefore, they are to be managed as inpatient.
There were one group of patients with placenta praevia. Although they were admitted at different time, they became good friends. One by one, they were sent off to caesarean section, according to their times. Those who haven't deliver will go and visit those who already delivered. They always kept each other updated via the whatsapp group. One day, one of the patient with placenta praevia major with underlying one previous scar went off for caesarean section. The surgery was complicated with a few issues but in the end, all went well. She had a caesarean hysterectomy, this will be the patient that I will never forget, S.A.B. My senior and I were there throughout the caesarean section, Bakri Balloon insertion till caesarean hysterectomy. Her friends in the ward were worried because they didn't receive any messages from the her since she who went off in the morning. So they started to ask the doctors what happened to their friend.
I had another 3 more patients, pre-eclampsia patients. They became good friends as well. 3 of them were induced at about 34-37 weeks. They delivered about the same time. Normally when i walked in and out from the antenatal ward, i can see one placenta praevia geng and one pre-eclampsia geng. Their bonding were quite strong. Good thing, at least they became friends and have companion. At least, they were not so boring when they were in the ward.
All of them were very polite.
All delivered before I left the antenatal ward.
I guess, they are friends for a season! Haha...
