Gross Things You Wish You Didn't See (G-rated)

[FireStarterRN]

So, at Thanksgiving one of my relatives and I were talking about the unhealthy diets that are landing people in the hospital. She told me that a doctor friend of hers was examining a morbidly obese woman and found a moldy twinkie under her breast. He picked out the twinkie, held it up and told the woman that this type of eating was the cause of her problems.

I kid you not.

Should there be a civilization ending apocolypse the obese are going to out live us all! Not just because of the fat stores but also because the portable food stashes that they carry around with them can probably sustain them for quite a while.

Girl, you come up with some STUFF!! I don't mean this in a bad way. Let me tell you, every time I see that you initiated a post, I can't wait to see what else you shared. That, literally takes the cake...:WHCk:

I remember hearing potato stories over the years as well. One had one in her privates to eat later. Guess she forgot because it grew legs, eyes and mold.

Echo Heron wrote in one of her books about a patient that had a cockroach crawl out of her hair. I would have passed out...

You'd think you could get away with at least cutting the potato in half....

We had a patient in the ED with half a sandwich in between her abdominal fat rolls.

heres two -

i had a homeless lady come in once who was very very mentally ill and had a literal fear of water - you can imagine how dirty she was. she had a spider nest in her HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!

and the other was another homeless guy with diabetic ulcers - who had maggots. the maggots probably saved his life. the wound was bad and deep - but *so* clean!
