Examples- laboring patients aren’t admitted through the ED, that’s counterproductive. The go straight to L&D.
It’s rare to see “teams of doctors and midwives�. That would only exist in a complication. Most vaginal births had one Doctor OR midwife and one nurse, and a tech or possibly a 2nd nurse. C-sections have 2 doctors or 1 doctor and a midwife with 1st assist training along with anesthesiology, 2 nurses and a surgical tech.
No one goes into training on the first day and takes a patient somewhere. That’s so ludicrous, I can’t even tell you. And double that for an experienced nurse doing her widwifery clinicals.
Widwifery Trainees aren’t employees. They’re there connected to the university their training is and most of the time have a professor on the floor and that’s who they report to.

I’d LOVE for KA to do a hospital series. That could be super interesting.
But I digress. I can’t wait to see what happens next with the characters. ...more

There’s even more than this, and all with no reward. I can do dark. But where’s the win?...more
