Working in
the lab after leaving the hospital meant less time to prepare for medical rounds and shelf exams, yet preparing more for rounds meant not completing the experiments I needed to earn my Ph.D. — not to mention finding time to relax, sleep, and catch up with family and friends.
That morning,
after my water broke, I went in to the
lab to tell everyone I was going to the
hospital and to ensure that there was nothing that needed my attention before I
left.
