I once took care of a young man (a really good looking young man) who was vaccinating some cattle when he tripped & fell. The needle he was using was attached to a hose & tank on his back. When he fell, he injected his tush with whatever it was. We had to split his butt cheek like a side of beef, clean the wound & allow it to heal by secondary granulation. Poor fella, every time he had to poop, it was my shift. I walked into his room one afternoon & he said "look!, my ****** nurse is here." He & I cracked up, but his mom didn't get the joke, she wanted to wash his mouth out with soap.

I used to work on the GI/GU floor. I had this patient that had a colostomy in one quad of his abdomen and a large scar where he used to have another colostomy in another area of his abdomen. Come to find out later that he had the first appliance because his anal sphincter was ruined from having sex and the first colostomy was ruined the same way.

I agree c-diff is the worst smelling thing I have ever smelt. But I will say a GI bleed smells pretty ruff to

Ugh, and I thought it was gross when we had a skinny little baby daddy volunteer the info that to *ahem* reach his g/f's nether regions, they had a broom at the bedside for the same purpose :barf02:

I dont really understand were the broomstick (or the 2x4 as the other poster mentioned) would be positioned without getting in the way.

I once took care of a heroin addict that could hit her own veins when our best lab personnel couldn't. She would take a needle, dig around & hit blood every time. Freaked me out.

I don't do needles, heck, my ears have NEVER been, and never will be pierced.

Yet sticking other people doesn't bother me in the least.

I don't say "seen it/heard it all" anymore.

Nope.

Jinx.

When I worked at the prison we had an inmate who charged BIG bucks for the use of his stoma. I guess in someone's twisted mind it didn't quite qualify as a gay event, so he found his niche in the prison sex industry.

And there it is.

Just when you think it's safe to say "I've seen it all."

When, where, how did they find the time, the place, to get away with this sort of thing?

Didn't that hurt?(the stoma) It must have been quite bloody.
