Blizzard

It is day two of a massive blizzard that is not expected to let up until Sunday. All air travel (including medivac) has been shut down.

I have been trying to get a 19 year old pre-eclamptic women out since yesterday. I would have gotten her on an plane two days ago but she 'conveniently' disappeared for three days.

The decision has been made to induce her here rather than wait out the storm. Am feeling confident as we have an amazing team. Because of the storm, two visiting doctors have been stranded here including a pediatrician. The nurses are very excited about having a baby tonight.

It's hard not to feel excited too when you have a team behind you who are excited and supportive and skilled.

It was Maggie the senior Inuit student who reminded me of this.
