I scrubbed into a stat c-section. Standing next to the resident facing the fellow, they had just both finished massaging the uterus for atony. After the fellow took their hands off the uterus, a few seconds went by before I attempted to palpate the uterus to learn how it felt. The resident had their hand on the uterus but was no longer massaging it. Immediately, the fellow slapped the back of my hand. He then laughed causing the resident to nervously laugh also. I was not amused. During a previous stat c-section, both encouraged me to palpate the uterus for atony.
