View Through The Speculum (a nurse’s thirty-seven years OB-GYN career)

By:- Judy Warrenton
Genre:- Memoir
Pages:- 104
Blurb:- First published book by this author. This book is the story of how the author evolved in the 1960s from being just a homemaker into becoming a licensed practical nurse who worked for five years in labour and delivery and another thirty-two in a busy on-gym practice. There are some sad stories and some hilarious stories. It offers a window into the humanity of both doctors and nurses, ant their contribution to a life for mothers and babies

👶🍼👩‍🍼My review:- This is a story of Rikki, once a stay at home mam to a young child, who decided to go into on-gyn nursing. Reading this book took me back to when I had my first child in the 80s, how Rikki describes how the nurse would wheel the babies to the mothers to be fed then back to the nursery, something that would never happen now. Reading about the doctors, nurses and staff when she worked at The Women’s Practice. I did love the story about Lil ( a secretary), when Dr Slinger asked for her help, not knowing the medical terms and being a bit squeamish, when the doctor asked for a 4x4 she handed him a tongue depresser as she knew what a 2x4 was and that was the closest.
It is amazing how the ob-gyn has improved over the years, not just for both parents and babies but for the nursing staff.
This is a book that I would buy for a few of my friends. 👩‍⚕️🤱👨‍🍼🍼
