"See how the top breeder manages the puppy after I gave to him. You
can learn much by observing him." I did not expect her to come back.
She was second year Junior College student and had decided that she
wanted to be a veterinary surgeon.
 She planned to spend every Sunday seeing practice for the next few months till the "A-level" examinations in November. This was her first Sunday at seeing practice with a small animal veterinary surgeon and her first encounter with an emergency Caesarean delivery. I was presumptuous and had told her that she was fortunate to be able to see a Caesarean section on her first day. It was not a frequent event. How would I know that she would not be up to the smells birth? The environment was not fragrant. It had an acidic smell of vomitus too as the Jack Russell mother had vomited a few times. The breeder had given her water to drink on this hot burning afternoon. She was pacing and her water bag had ruptured but there was no birth after two hours. Normally, Jack Russells give birth naturally. Now, would Xiao Xiao return to the operating room as the second puppy was delivered? She did. No complaints. Not a word must be said while I was operating. That was my procedure. She accompanied Mr Toh for all 3 deliveries. She was reticent just like Mr Toh. The Singapore's school education system somehow does not produce junior college students who ask lots of questions. The why and how? Perhaps she was shy and did not want to intrude. She asked one question at the completion of the surgery: "Why did Mr Toh hold the puppy in both hands, swing them up and down?" This procedure is, I believe, never done in human obstetrics and gynecology as the shaking the newborn in an arc up and down is deemed to affect the brain of the human baby. I replied: "He wanted to shake out the mucus and any amniotic fluid inside the puppy's lungs." Births can be a traumatic experience for some people and some husbands. The smells of a new life. The sight of the profuse flow of red blood meshed with a dark green mass called the placenta or afterbirth and lots of amniotic fluid when the sac is ruptured. "Did your classmate enjoy her first day?" I asked Daniel Quek who had introduced her to see practice. "She nearly puked," he said. That explained her body language when she first saw the incision and the taking out of the first puppy. I hope this city girl would be able to withstand the smelly side of veterinary medicine and surgery and achieve her dream of becoming an animal doctor. |
