News Flash Everybody Farts!

Published

I have read a couple of posts lately where people are complaining about people farting breaking wind, passing gas etc...

What exactly is the big deal? The average person farts 14 to 20 times a day and if you say you don't fart you're either lying or you are an alien species.

Yes it can be gross and smell bad but it's like poop it just happens sometimes.

Hppy

These postings had me giggling! Years ago I had a rectal-lady partsl fistula AND IBS! What a combination. I had absolutely no control over "farting" or the explosive diarrhea. I worked nights in a small hospital where every one know everyone's problems and I was fortunate because they were so compassionate and understanding. One night I was doing chest compressions and I had to poop! Bless the doctor's heart, he took over compressions so I could relieve pressure, clean up and come back. The guy lived too!!

One time I took oral antibiotics and it screwed up my intestines so much and it killed all my intestinal flora. I didn't fart for a year. I actually was concerned and missed my farts: the sign of a well functioning intestines.

I worked with a Scrub Tech in the operating room years ago who cut loose with a Silent But Deadly (during an open AAA repair ) just as the surgeon was starting to close.. The Funny Part was that the surgeon and the residents started checking the patient's Bowel to see if they had accidentally nicked the Bowel!

I posted earlier saying how I suspected there was some sorcery associated with women who poop.

After watching Sabrina Nellie's webcam session where she pops a turtle head, I have concluded that Sabrina Nellie is a witch.

It's hard to even think that women like Alizee poop.

I didn't know this was a problem in other hospitals :laugh:

A lot of my schizophrenic pts are impulsive and aren't self-conscious so they let em rip!! So if staff farts they can blame it on the pts haha

On a related topic, one of my pretty straight laced old gals let out an epic burp last night and said "better to burp and taste it rather than fart and waste it." No way could anyone within hearing distance keep a straight face, especially as we never would have expected that coming from her.

If you move the wrong way or sit down and it happens so be it but if you lift up your cheek and grunt one out sitting at the dining room table you're a pig I don't care who you are !Patients get a free ride in my book, they usually can't get up excuse themselves,and go outside to perform the act.
