Our job is lonely. We don’t have desks, just drawers attached to radiators.pic.twitter.com/rOLWfDdpWs
Antenatal clinic is the best. I like to listen to a 12 week Fetus with my stethoscope. Sometimes they sing to me.pic.twitter.com/DJJUKVkd05
I always make sure to examine my patients abdomens while they’re sitting Bolt uprightpic.twitter.com/lsaSZEh8vR
After which I put on as much PPE as possible and rush to labour ward, where I wait expectantly for a baby to fly out like a football.pic.twitter.com/FxI2lf0uiY
But it’s ok because helpful masked midwives will assist by holding the patients legs open in a room that has one wall made entirely of window. We’ve put up blinds so it’s ok.pic.twitter.com/F57uC7MwB4

After this, myself and doctor disembodied hands do a Caesar. There is miraculously no legs on our patient.pic.twitter.com/pjdGoSEIwF
And we deliver another beautiful 5 month old to the world. Hurrah. Best job ever.pic.twitter.com/x0HQyhmzzI
