Ahhh there goes breakfast. Ick not what I wanted to read first thing in the a.m. (it's 6 here) but---------------I have to check all the above. Cause each can be gross in the wrong setting....I guess this is what I get for visiting allnurses before breakfast rofl.....
This seems like a perfectly mature topic...I voted nasal secretions, but it's sputum thats been fermenting in the lungs for a few weeks that really makes me gag.
I agree that it's a perfect topic. I voted for blood since I work post-partum and am routinely subjected to lots of it those first three visits to the bathroom where I'm the one sitting between their legs cleaning them up. Doesn't bother me in the least.
I have this thing about drool. Not spit, I've been spit at and as long as it doesn't land in my eye (which it has), I'm okay. But drool really makes me ill. It's really a shame since drool isn't usually voluntary.
blood doesnt bother me in the least, but anything from the lungs or bowels will send me to the dirty utility room bleaching my skin to kill whatever the patient was harboring.
