Abstract
The world of obstetrics is often portrayed with a cinematic quality – the romance of pregnancy poised against the possibility of sheer loss. As a fourth-year medical student, I was excited but anxious about what this new rotation would have in store. To better prepare us for the obstetric emergencies we could encounter later in life, we participated in a simulation workshop with an emphasis on postpartum haemorrhage. Our task was simple – to assume a role in the treating team and collaborate, against the clock, to stabilise our simulated mother.
