Last Post? You Decide...

I know I seldom update this blog. Maybe it's because I have nothing to say that's worthy, or maybe that's because no one reads this. So I've been thinking of closing it down. But I would hate to do that because I don't know if people do read this blog. I don't know what to do, so I'm asking a simple favor. I'm asking everyone who reads this blog and enjoys it to PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT to let me know there is still interest. If there is still no interest, I'll probably close it for good.

I'm also looking for new post ideas if you would like it to continue. What would you like me to talk about? I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Missing In Action

Guess who is here? I'm so sorry that I have not updated in quite some time. I blog my life at http://futuredoctor19.livejournal.com so check that out if you are interested. Anyway, I wanted to do a post today about good obstetrical TV shows. I know not everyone gets Discovery Health and TLC, so skip this post if you do not have that.

TLC
A Baby Story

Discovery Health
Deliver Me- chronicles the life of three women who are mothers and OB/GYNs. It follows their daily lives and it is awesome to see how their days go.
Birth Day- on several times a day, but it follows two women through labor and birth
Babies: Special Delivery- an hour long program on everyday that visits the high-risk wards at many different hospitals and follows six women through their deliveries and postpartum
House of Babies- a fantastic show on a freestanding birth center in Miami

I'm sure I will think of more. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if you like the blog by leaving a comment or voting in the poll. Thanks!

Pictures!

WARNING! PICTURES BELOW ARE GRAPHIC! DO NOT CONTINUE READING IF THIS IS NOT OKAY WITH YOU!

So I finally decided to post pictures of body boot camp. Scroll down a little to see (I posted them far down in case anyone who is not interested can leave without viewing. I only posted posted pictures with no kids in them to protect the identities of me and my fellow campers.

Body Boot Camp

Sorry for the recent lack of posts. I have been at Body Boot Camp. It's a two week body experience filled with presentations, dissections and field trips. Today we took a field trip to Big Teaching Hospital and watched a surgery via CC TV. Perhaps I will post pictures when I get them, probably in mid-July. In the meantime, I'll probably try to keep updating more often. It's summer...what else have I got to do? Talk to you soon.

Herrin Twins

I don't know if you have heard about these fabulous little girls or not, but I wanted to dedicate a post to them today. Below I have pasted a little from their website explaining who they are.

Kendra Deene and Maliyah Mae Herrin were born February 26, 2002 at the University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. They were born 8 weeks premature at 32 weeks gestation. They are former Ischiopagus / Omphalopagus Conjoined Twins, meaning that they were joined at the abdomen and the pelvis. They shared several organs, mainly a kidney, liver, and large intestine. They were successfully separated August 7, 2006. They are very healthy and happy little girls, each with her own distinct personality. They are very smart and are learning new things every day. Together they could scoot around, roll over, pull up to standing, and even do a summersault. They are best friends and have such a close bond. They are such wonderful miracles and they continue to bring joy to their family and friends everyday. We love them so much.

The family website is herrintwins.com and the family posts updates regularly. They have gone through major ups and downs, but right now they are thriving. Hopefully you will be able to click on their website and read about them, as they are truly an inspiration to everyone.

Please help!

I received this email today, it takes literally 1 minute, if that, to do. Thought it would be a good thing to post on this blog.

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
