Midwifery

Last night I read the first module of the Community Midwife book that the Nicaraguan midwife gave to me. (of course, AFTER working on pharmacology & women's health) Today my instructor went over module one with me to make sure that I understood everything that it said. The first module is entitled, "Prenatal Consults: Pregnancy & High Risk". The information was good-basically what we teach about risks in childbirth classes, with a little more detail. Some words in Spanish are SO hard, like gynecologist-ginecólogo (pronounced hee-nay-CO-logo), and gynecology-ginecológica (pronounced hee-nay-co-LO-hee-cah). As if that isn't hard enough, try neurologist-neurólogo (pronounced nay-ew-RO-logo)...never mind neurology and neurological-the accents are completey different on the related terms(: Fun stuff.
