4 deliveries, 1 operation, 1 sleepless night and too many cervixes to count!

Typical night on call last night. Currently doing Obstetrics and Gynecology, and last night was busy. The day was quite slow... watched the Oilers game (boo Nashville), and flipped between the SuperBowl and the replay of Nadal-Federer (next time Feds!), and then it started.

Beep-Beep-Beep.
The sound many have grown to despise.

So, after the third set of Nadal-Federer, the fun began. And it didn't stop until sign-over at 8 the next morning. When all was said and done, the title was the result: 4 deliveries throughout the night, 1 c-section and a whole bunch of pregnant women thinking they're in labor but not really in labor (each requiring one to two checks of their cervix). Speaking of which, what's the plural of that? Cervixi? Cervixes? Cervi?

I think it's time for bed.

Proudly, I've never had to pluralize the term myself.
