Memoir of an intern Doctor….day 154

While doing a side room procedure on a post partum mother , we heard a baby crying in the corridor. This mother goes on to say Musawo,(to mean doctor) I hear my baby crying.

The shock on my face. I first ignored thinking she was tryna make a joke yet and I was tryna focus to get the stitches through for her wound secondary closure.

She went on to insist and I wondered if all babies don’t sound the same way? Like how is it even possible to differentiate one baby’s cry from another.

Well, turns out she was right. Her caretaker walked in with the baby …….yes the baby was still crying 😂😂.

I’m worried because I can’t even remember how the 4 year old dog at my home barks.
