The operating room (or theatre as they call it) is very interesting and a little scary in my eyes. We saw three different c/sections this morning. C/sections here are given much more "freely" compared to the US and they go quick. There were six c/sections happening while we were there (there are two ORs), and even when we left, there were women IN LINE to get cut. Things move quickly, they get in and get out. The baby is placed in a basin of sorts and taken to a separate room, mom doesn't get to see baby until she is in the recovery "area." There is minimal recovery done on the baby at all - no VS, no stimulation for a minimum of 20-30 seconds as they travel to another room, no assessments, which scared the daylights out of me as a watched for the first time. Between patients, the OR isn't stripped and cleaned the way it is at home either. The bed sheets are removed and new ones are put on... no real cleaning involved at all. It is very intriguing. I wanted very much to see the statistics on infection and whatnot but that doesn't exist here.
Bought a sari this afternoon. It was weird because looking at them in the store, just on the wrack, none of them looked appealing to me, but when they are on, it is really hard to go wrong. Mom - you will be happy as I bought one that is blue and pink. I can hear her now "those colors really are best for you skin tone and your eyes" :) (love you, mom)
