There I was, floor supervisor, when asked to assist the M.D. check a patient's Decubitus. The "pt" was a bil. amputee, and had the worst hip decubitus I had ever seen. The M.D. takes a look, and tells me he will need to go to surgery. He wanted me to debridepart of an area he showed me. Much to my SURPRISE!!, I pulled on some eschar, and out came a dead RAT!!! This was the only time I EVER GOT SICK! How Nasty!!
