"HIPAA requires a high level of security; I don't know why it's on this..."

Didactic day - off to a running start as they have a meeting in our conference room. We start at 8:30 instead, with a rapid-fire overview of OB exams. She's good. At least as far as making us remember that it's not so bad... Talked about complications of pregnancy and O.B. visits. Have scheduled call with the residents next Tuesday night, hopefully will get to see deliveries before my O.B. rotation. Followed O.B. with sigmoidoscopy - including a practise flex-sig. Once we got the machine working (mental note: check for the power switch on the giant USB fake colon) we all got to try a flex-sig on it. Rachel and Iwona and I have decided that I should try to make a sigmoidoscope with controls that fit a woman's hands. All three of us had to let go of the scope in order to use the lateral controls - they're just too big for us. It took a while for all six of us to try, which meant that we started suturing late. ...Lunch became 10 minutes, ordered out from Munchie's. More later...
