Re: What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?
Not my grossest, but i was thinking about this incident all day today with a chuckle:
When I was in nursing school I had a guy with pancreatitis who had just been granted to have clears. Well, his family took that as a cue to give him every bit of apple juice they could find. So the guy blows up his bed with the foulest greenest diarrhea I had ever seen. No big deal - clean him up, change the bed and tell the family no more apple juice. Not 15 minutes later same thing -ok - i know the routine now - clean up, change linens. Shortly after that one more bout - and this guy dropped the bomb - I mean poop everywhere and me in my crisp white student uniform. The doctor comes in in the mean time while i am wrist deep in cleaning the guy up. He looks around and assess the situation and says to me "Would you like me to discontinue the laxitives?" Yep... I think that'd be a good move, there doc.
