Today I was cleaning my pt and I was wondering why her bellybutton looked black. It kept bugging me.
Well....I had to dig and actually PULL on it to get it out (it was that stuck to the inside of her bellybutton ick!) and out came a HUGE ball of dried up skin cell stuff and covered with some gross black crusty stuff. It was this big chunk of hard dried icky material. The washcloth helped get it out. The patient didn't mind either.
I don't think the pt had the inside of her bellybutton cleaned in about 6 months, thats the best I can describe it! It was so bad that I was gagging
LOL I guess I had a bad shift!
However, the pt looked alot better afterwards!
Edit * whoops hit enter as I was typing the title...its supposed to read "pt's old" haha sorry!*
