Dear lord what have I gotten myself into? I can't give too much detail but I am so grossed out from this morning at the hospital.
It all started when a patient told me to "put some gloves on".
I had to help a 400 pound guy pee so we could measure what was coming out.
He held up part of his belly while I held up his belly's belly which had to weigh at least 20 lbs, was purple, dimpled and looked and felt like a large brick (yes it was that solid) inside a sock made out of purple turkey skin with one hand while using the other to hold a piss jug up to his wangular area.
As if that wasn't bad enough right after I poured his piss in the toilet he let go with a silent fart that absolutely blindsided me.
I have a kid and large dogs and it wasn't my first time in a hospital. Normally I can get past funky smells. But something about this one really got to me.
I actually started to heave and for a moment thought I was going to puke in his sink.
I managed not to and then went to a staff bathroom to sort myself out.
I really had to think about whether or not I wanted to be in this program.
What a day.

Oh, Jorge! Mr. Wally is a nursing program as well. He already has his LPN. But the stories he has told... I do believe your stomach strengthens and your sense of smell deadens after awhile! I hope that happens sooner or later for you!
ROFL! Sorry, but that just killed me! I couldn't take it myself.
How do you think he must have felt. When you enter the hospital, check your dignity at the door!
Ah yes, one of the many reasons I am not a nurse.
You are a better man than I am, dear Jorge. ;-)
