Shadow you, shadow me.

So it's been my first 2 days in DAU (Day Assessment Unit, checking heavily pregnant women's blood pressure, urine and pulse).

I'm supposed to be 'shadowing' a worker (lets call her BYOTCH because she's p'd me off that much) to find out what happens on a daily basis and what to do about it. She's supposed to tell me what to do and she doesn't (or hasn't). She wonders off and does her own thing. None of them (there are about 4 midwives in the DAU) are including me. They keep talking all of this medical jargon and not telling me what they mean, so Im sitting there like a dumb blonde (sorry to all dumb blondes reading this) doing diddly squat! Actually I have been putting columns in a book...yeah...for next year!!!

SO I did a bad thing. I got my cousin and my friend to call me and say my little one is unwell and I have to go and get him. I couldnt stay there anymore. I know its bad and I crossed my fingers while I was on the phone and lying through my teeth but I thought Im not getting shown anything so I may aswell go home and clean my house.
I managed to leave at 10.30 and Im not going back tomorrow either.

Hopefully next week when Im shadowing another midwife at peoples houses, it'll be better.
