    Now this poor patient must be a sad and troubled person :sniff . Since thisnurse is taken, we need to find him someone appropriate to share his life and relieve his "distress". Anybody got any candidates?

    (stumbled across this post and HOWLED!)

    Thisnurse - have you seen this guy back?

    I had an elderly pt once who was on with a perf bowel because


    (drum roll, please)












    He used a washing maching as an enema - would hook the hose up and away he went. Apparently did this regularly and saw nothing unusual about it...

    Send him psych's way - you all on the med floors are WAY too busy to deal with this stuff (not that we aren't, too, but freaks are our stock and trade!)

    LOL .

    Adrie - it's like when a bunch of men get together - they eventually get around to talking about sex (or sports.)

    With nurses, it's .......

    Sorry - it's been kinda tense here, and there's nothing like a good feces tale to lighten the mood .

    In all my years, I have never heard a story like this one.

    If I had been you, I would have given him a mop, bucket and a very large can of ROOM DEODORIZER, and would have closed the door----telling him not to open it until the room was spotless and odorless. LOL< LOL My hats off to you.

    Sounds like he needs a colostomy and a peg tube! That'd fix his wagon!!!!
    I'd take a bad DT'er over this kind of patient any day of the week!
