So today, my group was instructed by the doctor to find our own baby (patient) to examine and to make sure that we asked permission from the mother first before doing so. The first mother refused to lend her baby to us, then we turned to the second one, and unfortunately she (the second mother) simply asked us to find another baby. We were there like 15 minutes trying to figure out how the fuck can we find a mother who will allow us to lend her baby for awhile then we did our third try and it went like this:
"Hello we are medical students from "bla bla bla" and im *insert my name here* and these are my collage mates *introducing my group mates to the mother*. So today we were instructed to like find a baby to examine for our own learning purpose and you dont need to worry because as it is our first time doing this, the whole examination will be supervised by a specialist so you dont need to worry about your baby safety + *more insurance words*.. bla bla bla"
guess what the mother told us?
"its not that i dont want to, but.... im due tomorrow"
then i took myself out of the ward and went for a smoke instead
