GPAL is the abbreviation we use in obstetrics to any patients[of course female] maternal history where G stands for gravida[no of total preg],P-parity[conceviable] ,A-abortion and L-live....we are so used to this thing that sometimes we tend to omit the no of pregnancies just to decrease our case sheet length since we have to elaboralty write on each pregnancy detailing about their mode of delivery,complications etc..[laziness!]....."nimge yast makkalu"?[How many children] is the standard qn we ask and sometimes its difficult to elicit even this from those patients who would have undergone repeated abortions!..
overall obg is quite interesting [2nd week] and we learn a lot about women!!...
tomorrow is 2nd saturday and its holiday!...can sleep till 10am and may be watch a movie!!!..:)
