A reminder for being in the OR first thing in the morning - eat breakfast! Yes, it's horribly early and you may not be hungry, or may be a bit nauseated... but it will be a lot worse if you do not eat.

When I was on my Gyn Onc and Gyn rotations, we always made sure we had an "Oncology" breakfast.. something with some substance that would not drop your blood sugar an hour later.

Enjoy your rotation... hopefully we're all behaving ourselves and are not malignant.

yes I've definitely found that eating helps! The docs I'm with have been pretty nice and helpful in the ER--although still waiting to do a vaginal delivery! My new OR problem is getting REALLY overheated. I've already had to step out once, and definitely don't want to do it again. I'm usually cold all the time, but since getting pregnant I have hot flashes like an old lady!! In the OR I start sweating profusely, usually after 20 minutes or so. I try to think about something else, and it usually passes when I feel all my sweat start to evaporate and cool--sooo gross! I'm just worried I'm not going to keep it under control and will feel faint. Darn hormones!
