from one add'er to another, let's just say i've yet to learn another lesson on when to keep my mouth shut!

from one add'er to another, let's just say i've yet to learn another lesson on when to keep my mouth shut!

At least when someone tells you to go eat sh!t you can respond, "Already did, but thanks!"

When someone says, "Ohhhh, Leslie... she wouldn't say the word sh!t if she had a mouth full of it. You would be able to say, "Can too can tooooo!!!"

When you have a patient that is confused and you find him with pooh in his mouth and someone says, "Wow, that must taste awful!" You can say, "It sure does!"

Wow... I could do this all night long. I didn't even have to think hard about the above. Just think of what I could come up with if I put a bit of thought into it.

Wait till my Dex wears off and my creativity comes back.. BWAHAHAHA

You know, earlier I was trying to think of a way to ask what poop tastes like while sounding really sincere, a genuine interest, something more likely to make you answer. HA! Then I thought about finding a student and putting the student up to asking the question but that didn't make a lot of sense either. I couldn't think of a good reason why I would want to know so I chucked that idea.

So although there is really no good reason for wanting to know, I'll ask anyway. In your professional experience, what's it taste like?

OP...

BTW... THIS is how we get through some of the more negative and gross experiences in nursing. We laugh. While you are doing something that would make the best of the best gag and hurl, just remember the great stories you'll have to tell next time you go out to dinner with friends. It's really cool to point to the rice on someone's plate and explain that the maggots looked like THAT! And when the the cheese soup comes explain THAT'S what the baby's poop looked like.

However, the above won't work on another nurse. You have to find a non-medical type person for a target.

you'll never know until you've tried it.....ah go ahead, try it-take a lickin' and go on tickin'. talk about putting my add in perspective! no med in the world could have ever compared to the state of utter speechlessness (aka 'normalcy') of that 1 incident. but as i stated, i'm a mouth breather and so, did not 'taste' it. yet i certainly would not endorse its' consistency and texture.:barf01:

the irony is that even after the explosion, there was still hard stool in the rectal vault and proceeded to finish the job until my pt. was totally disimpacted and comfortable. once that was established, my nm was more than willing to let me go home for the day. and i've learned to keep my mouth shut when it comes to disimpaction anyway. :rolleyes:

you are a piece of work bipley.

from hereonin, i shall refer to your posts as "bipley's believe it or not".

LOL... OMG, I'm laughing so hard I can't think of a response. Each time I read one of your responses I start laughing and R just looks at me funny.

You are just too funny!

Earle58 and Bipley, you guys are sick! lol Thanks for all the advice everyone. I have a great sense of humor and I'll be the first person running for a facemask!!!

leslie :-D · Jan 12, 2006

face mask...face mask.......FACE MASK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW you tell me! :rolleyes:

where were you when i was yapping away (while disimpacting this poor old soul) when she had sudden onset of projectile diarrhea?

if i had a face mask on, i could've continued yapping as i just can't keep my mouth shut.

Reminds me of the time last summer when my 14-year-old son accidentally consumed a bit of, uh, shall we say, 'recycled' dog food. :uhoh21: We'd had brownies for dessert that evening, and he'd taken his into his room to be eaten while he worked at his desk; he was doing some drawing when he spotted a large crumb and stuck it in his mouth.......only to discover that it was a morsel of dried doggy doo. (I can only surmise that the dog must've dragged some in on his feet and then jumped onto Ben's desk from the bed---I've caught him a time or two, even though he is STRONGLY discouraged from doing that.) Let me tell you, the look on that kid's face was hilarious as he made a beeline for the bathroom to divest his poor outraged stomach of everything he'd eaten that day, while the rest of us laughed until we cried.......I know, it's not nice, but now when anyone around here uses the term "eat s***" in any context, we automatically look at Ben.:chuckle
