Good Luck Adrian, it seems pretty tough. But you'll get over it, I'm pretty sure.

Good question. But if what I plan to do works out, I may not even have to bother applying for leave.

But if I do stick with the programme, I will probably keep applying again and again, until they let me go.

They don't?

Giving birth is a choice they make. Yes, only women can give birth. But they do not HAVE to give birth, you know. Many women remain nulliparous for all of their lives.

No idea what's with you and the cervix... But you can check out medical books if you want to see what a cervix looks like.

OR you can follow your girlfriend or wife to the gynaecologist next time and ask if you can have a look at her cervix.

Oh, I'm pretty sure I can do it. If the others can do it, why can't I?

The question now is... why should I?

Most of the house officers here do not have any choice in this matter. But I do. Therein lies the difference.

I might have missed this somewhere in the thread, but what alternative(s) do you have that the others don't?

Sounds like there's a plan! What is it, Boss?

They could always opt for a C-section...

Btw, what's "nulliparous", Boss?

Alternatives? Well, developing ARP professionally is certainly one. Starting a writing career is also another.

In addition, I've been offered positions in a couple of magazines... so that's a possibility as well.

But for me, job satisfaction is very important. I can't work well unless I'm happy doing what I do.

Well, any surgery comes with risks, even a relatively simple one like a Caesarean section. Spontaneous vertex delivery is still the best way to deliver.

Nulliparous refers to a lady who has not given birth to any child before.

Not really. What you learn will always stay with you. In any case, medical school has changed the way I look at things, how I think, etc.

So, it's not really a loss.
