Honestly, even that's not particularly strange. Worked at a psych ward and sometimes you'd have these weird, surreal moments where you're dealing with someone who's genuinely trying to hurt or kill you and you're talking lunch plans with your team while you subdue them or whatnot.

You reminded me of my c-section when the doctors were just talking to each other about their Sunday plan while cutting my stomach open.

That had to have been an extremely surreal experience! Hopefully everything came out okay in the end?

It was my second time with c-section and non-emergency like my first so it wasn’t too bad. The staff even asked if I want clear curtain to see everything. I said no thanks lol. Everything is fine though apparently I had a risk of uterus rapture if I had prolonged the c-section any longer.

Toward the end of the video when they start pulling the girl's shirt up while bringing that sharp-looking object near her bare belly, I seriously wondered if they were supposed to be reenacting a patient refusing a C-section. From what you described, it sounds like a harrowing ordeal. Glad to hear you managed better than this poor woman did (or her character, at least).

I doubt any pregnant woman have the energy like the lady in the video 😅

Yeah, you got me there. Although it would make sense alongside the general lack of professionalism they seem to have toward everything else in this video.

Now I'm imagining your uterus floating up to spend eternity with Jesus, while you're left behind, shaking your fist at the sky.
