Dizzy anesthesiologist

Had the information meeting at the hospital today. The three hour meeting that I wrote about earlier.

The reason for the three hours was that we were not the only ones there. We were about seven couples that first got to watch a hilarious film about the procedure of the cesarian. Hilarious because the film was like a home movie.

And particularly funny was the scene showing the surgery. The camera was not filming the operation area of course, but was showing how the doctors were working behind the green screen. And to me as a viewer it looked more like the doctors were quickly trying to pack and close a very full suit case, than doing surgery and delivering a baby.

After the film we all, couple by couple, got to meet a doctor, a midwife and an anesthesiologist. Especially the anesthesiologist was very dizzy. So dizzy that it did not make me very happy when she said that I would be meeting her on Monday.

Her dizziness resulted in her forgetting what couples she had and hadn't met, forgetting to write certain things down, claiming that she had already spoken to couples that she hadn't spoken to, and so on.

And the meeting with her was really odd.

Anesthesiologist: Do you have any allergies?

Me: No.

A: Have you had surgery before?

Me: No

A: You are not supposed to eat after twelve the night before surgery. But your husband should have breakfast so that he doesn't faint. Hahahahaha. Well, see you on Monday.

That was about it.

After meeting the anesthesiologist we saw the midwife that just took a blood test and listened to the heart beat of the baby.

And after that we met the doctor that listened to MY heart and lungs.

And now we are supposed to be prepared for Monday...
