Things that make you go eww...

Ok, thought of this topic while posting to another one heh...

All of us have something that we have to deal with at work that just makes us eww louder than normal. :)

boogers... I absolutely hate boogers......

One night, my patient's sats kept dropping, and I kept using the ballard to suction out his ETT.... and I thought... yanno, I'm just not getting down far enough to get it... really tall guy....so I grabbed an NT suction kit, sent down a lavage, bagged him briefly, suctioned out this HUGE dark green booger that had elastic qualities! That sucker could bounce around the room! At any rate, his sats stayed up the rest of the night, and they bronched him the next day to get rid of any other ominous plugs that might be looming around his lungs....

Even the RT was impressed by my suctioning skills. All it did was made me want to puke.

the feces of unfortunate liver failure patients-

I can't stand snot and sputum!!...I get the dry heaves soooo bad!:rolleyes:

Pulled a foley out of a NH pt one night. The crap that came out was the worst I've ever seen. Thick, yellow/green, and the smell was horrible! THAT made me gag!

There is an old joke.

God put a thousand people in one room and filled it 1/2 full of poop. Then sneezed with copius amounts of snot flying. The ones who ducked became nurses, the ones who stayed upright, were RT's/Respiratory physician. :D

LOL, that is a good joke.

I'm with the mucous croud. I can't stand it.

Years ago (probably 15 years ago) I had a confused patient with a BAD cold and oh yeah, he also didn't have a nose. Just holes in his face where his nose should be, draining copious amounts of the green and stringy variety. It never stopped coming out, just kept stretching longer and longer. I am glad that he wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing because I was gagging the whole time I was trying to get his nasal cavity clean. That is the day when poop stopped bothering me. From then on, I can't stand mucous of any sort.
