Things that gross me out....

So I get report on a little lady and the nurse says she has decreased urine output. Her foley had been leaking the night before, but I added some water to the baloon and it seemed to be ok afterwards. The nurse said the CNA swore up and down that the foley was NOT leaking, so she called the doctor about the "decreased urine output."

I go into assess the pt, and she is soaking wet, plus has dried poo on her (nice). I clean her up and change out her foley (no urine return either....I hate it when that happens!)

And hour later, there is STILL urine leaking around the foley! So I break out a grand-daddy 18fr and change the foley out again, and her urine came out in gross chunks.....literally. 500 cc's of it!!! Yuck yuck yuck!!! I hate chunky urine!!! Poor little lady. :(

colostomy bags and feces with dx of c-diff

mucus, just mucus, yuck!

I remember that I asked the attending surgeon how in the world the guy got that way. He smarted off and said the homeless guy didn't wear his undershorts. When I continued to stare at him, he said that from what he saw, he thought the guy had probably had really bleeding external hemorrhoids, flies landed on him in his sleep, and there ya go. I swear, I will remember that smell to the end of my life.

I was wondering if you had found out how that happened.

I was thinking that maybe he had contracted the maggots in a different fashion.....

excuse if this is too gross, but I figured he must have eaten some food that flies had laid eggs on and they got into the intestinal tract and hatched!

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Grossing me out, either way it goes!!

Bless your heart...you have a stronger stomach than me...I don't think I could have done what you had to do.

Things that gross me out? Hmm, probably the band Nickelback. Seriously though, probably the smell of c-diff. Oh dear.

Skin flakes!

Oh god, the grossness. I can handle anything else--trachs, cdiff, anything. But peel of a pair of TED hose that have been on for a week and I'm gagging.
