I remember that I asked the attending surgeon how in the world the guy got that way. He smarted off and said the homeless guy didn't wear his undershorts. When I continued to stare at him, he said that from what he saw, he thought the guy had probably had really bleeding external hemorrhoids, flies landed on him in his sleep, and there ya go. I swear, I will remember that smell to the end of my life.

I was wondering if you had found out how that happened.

I was thinking that maybe he had contracted the maggots in a different fashion.....

excuse if this is too gross, but I figured he must have eaten some food that flies had laid eggs on and they got into the intestinal tract and hatched!

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Grossing me out, either way it goes!!

Bless your heart...you have a stronger stomach than me...I don't think I could have done what you had to do.

Things that gross me out? Hmm, probably the band Nickelback. Seriously though, probably the smell of c-diff. Oh dear.

Skin flakes!

Oh god, the grossness. I can handle anything else--trachs, cdiff, anything. But peel of a pair of TED hose that have been on for a week and I'm gagging.
