People who don't look before flushing (#2)

[Emergent]

I had a patient come in the other day with abdominal symptoms. I was asking the usual questions, including what did his BM look like.

I'm surprised how many people don't look before flushing! Did something go wrong in toilet training? Did their parent or guardian instill a shame or revulsion to poop?

And what does Sigmund Freud have to say about this subject?

Sincerely Curious,

My SIL and my Bro both clogged my bowl on Christmas Eve.

Just a fun holiday tidbit for the poop thread.

No, I didn't look, just handed in the plunger.

Family.

Gotta love it

I must be odd. I don't look. Not because I don't want to, but our toilets at home are water conserving, and the 'gooseneck' is shaped such that it can hide a LOT of poo. Nothing to see here, time to move on. I got used to that, and now I don't look no matter where I am.

And now, here's a Word from General Noise:

Once I had a resident called Margaret who only pooped once a week, if that, so she had quite large ones when she did. She also had a wicked sense of humor. One night her aide brought me the bucket from Margaret's commode to show me her BM, which was in the shape of a ginormous exclamation point.

i couldn't help it---I asked Margaret how she'd managed to do her business like that. She looked me straight in the eye and said, "I was going for a bow, but didn't make it." LOL!!!

I think my son was scarred for life when he was 2, by looking at his poop. It was his birthday and he wanted a race car cake...blue race car cake.

eat enough blue icing and it gives you grass green poo. He let out the loudest MAMAAAAAAA you ever heard. He was screaming and crying and all I could do was laugh. ☺️ Doubt he's looked at his poop since and he's now 21.
