Allow me to start. Yet another vag bleed. Same old routine I've done hundreds of times. Apparently this time I was a bit tired and not paying attention. I bend over to get in the bottom drawer of the vag cart, somehow not seeing the tip of the blood and mucous soaked vag q-tip the the doc so nicely left hanging over the edge. End result, vag blood and mucous on the side of my face!!!!! I'm pretty sure I used half a bottle of shampoo in my hair and scrubbed off the top 2 layers of my skin!!
Your turn!

I swore that I would never again think of, or being up this story buuuttttt.....
Once I was helping the MD lance and pack a cluster of very large, very turbulent abscesses from a woman's groin. I had sneezed rather loudly in the middle of the procedure, getting boogers on the inside of the mask I was wearing, so I took it off to put on another one.
As I walked back to the table with my new mask in hand (not on face sadly), the doctor injected lidocaine into one of the larger boils, causing it to burst. Aaaannnnd causing a large glob of god-knows-what to land. Land right on my face. If I had screamed it would have went into my mouth.

During my time as a CNA....
Emptying a bed pan full of d-ciff and it splashed hitting me in the face.
grossest thing I saw was a lady who had a huge growth above her groin, right in the fold. It was about the size of a large grapefruit, full of pustules and craters and ohhhhh man It smelled soooo bad. I would have to clean it when I changed her because it was so large it would get soiled along with her brief.
also was emptying a foley and the container I used to measure it (brain fart can't think of the name) broke while i was walking to the toilet to dump it. Urine landed all over me.
