:chuckle :chuckle :roll :roll very very occasionally, and this hospitall is in the middle of nowhere. Made me laugh though. Maybe it isn't skunks, maybe it is the sinks, some of them have traps that have filters (well sorta). I don't know!, funny though.

we had a skunk las year hanging around the ER doors and every so often we'd send the maintenance guy out to chase it off. I think the skunk might have been looking for a warm spot to sleep-he kept coming back.

so weird to see this. i smelled skunk at work this past night and saturday too. i have no idea what it is. we sometimes smell a sewery/cooking caggabge smell from a paper factory about 15 miles away if it's going to rain.

What's wrong with you people? You don't like skunks?

lol

Skunks are nocturnal. Can't explain why they don't like hospitals.

Maybe they're drug-seeking skunks?

I wonder if the shaving cream trick on stinky feet would work on a skunk?

Yup, it happens at least couple of times a month at our place also.

Not enough of a drudgery that we sacrifice ourselves for the night shift but adding a pungent nightly odor is too much!

Oh that is horrible! We have that problem at our home as we live next to a woods. WE have not found any way to deal with it either but I will watch this thread and see if anyone else knows how to help this unique, LOL, problem.
