Day 4: Gynecology Equipment

We started our rotations Thursday with a visit to CA with two gynecologists and watched as they simulated the delivery of a baby with different types of equipment. One instrument, the forceps (shown in the picture), are put around the baby’s head and allow the baby to gently be removed. The doctors explained that people view forceps as outdated and barbaric yet in the right hands, forceps are a completely valid way of removing the baby. Thank you for the exciting event, Dr. Alvarez and Dr. Rhee!
