During the SAE they claimed that it was caused by a strong cervival contraction at the same time the OB was attempting delivery...that along with it only being a 24 weeker. Only time Iv'e seen or heard of it and hopefully I never will again!

Well, yours truly gets to irrigate his ears, not the thrill of my life. I irrigated so much earwax out of that man's ears, it was coming out in big, green nuggets. When I showed pt emesis basin of what I had cleaned out of his scuzzy ears, he proceeds to get a big smile on his face, picked up one of the greasy nuggets and eats it!!! YUCK! I just about pucked on myself with that one. To this day, can barely clean my own ears!

Woah. I made it through all the others oddly unscathed. But DANG! I nearly hurled my guts out with this one.

I STILL can't stop squinting like I'm watching a terrible accident happen!

OMG! My heart nearly came out of my chest and I almost started crying reading this.

That one ranks as the worst experience on this thread, definately.

NiteNICUnurse, I've heard of that incident. Terrible. 24 weeker would have had a chance too. So you saw it? I can't imagine the horror of actually seeing it.

That is just awful I can only imagine how everyone in the room felt. My thoughts go out to the parents and everyone that was there to experience this.

Howdy yall
from deep in the heat of texas


Had a little strange guy come in accompanied by police. Pt was complaining of physical assault with injuries. I go in to do H and P. the male patient elaborates that he was mad at his boyfriend, who in their passion bit him too much in a certain place.
Bothe the patient and the police wanted me to examine and document what I saw....... I documented, Pt in no acute distress, examination of injuries deferred pending ER MD examination.
I never did check it out. Th eMD documented all the so called bite marks.
Thats a MDs job not mine................
So happy to be a nurse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

One of the attendings told me that she was called to the med-surg unit because the nurse said that fluid was coming out of a patents ear. She went to the unit and looked in the guys ear and saw some maggots coming out. When she took a closer look some fell out onto the patents gown. Then when she took hold of his ear she noticed under the curl at the top of the ear he had a whole ball of maggots. That she subsequently disturbed and they started to dismember. She said that there were litterally hundreds of them. I think too, thank god I'm an L&D nurse.

I was a Student Nurse giving a confused elderly woman a bath.Her mouth was very nasty with dried white stuff all in it.I gave her good mouth care and was leaning in to clean good and she spit.I had my mouth open and it went right in.I ran to the restroom and vomited and kept cleaning my mouth.Needless to say,I learned to keep my mouth shut and keep better distance from that lesson.I still about vomit to this day 15 years later about this.

I was working night duty in a medical ward when I answered a young fellows' buzzer. He asked for something to spit in to (with a full mouth). I hurriedly returned with a sputum cup, however he didn't realise there was a lid on it and he hoiked the biggest golly onto the lid that you've ever seen. I yelled at him that there is a lid on the cup and he promply sucked up the golly, took the lid off and spat it into the cup.
I left the room heaving.
