Juiced
Ewe. I went to my preceptorship this week. In a clinic room the physician pulled out a patient's drainage tubes. I purposely stood wayyyyy in the corner (nonchalantly of course), so as to avoid any nastiness... yet I couldn't escape. I got juiced. With I don't know what. Some sort of gastric-bypass nastiness that came flying out of the tube, across the room, from above, definitely landing on on my arm and my coat... and most probably in my hair as well. Oh well.

Aw! Next time ask if you can pull the tubes.

Well, I don't exactly freak out. I just try to avoid it if I KNOW it's coming...
ReplyDeleteHa ha - bound to happen! Work on you dodging skills because there are plenty more flying urinals, projectile charcoal and alcohol, and other fluids coming your way. It comes with the ED territory! ;)
ReplyDeleteJust 3 days ago my patient stared me in the face, unplugged his PEG tube from suction, and bile-d all over my sneakers.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Stared me right in the eye and juiced all over me. I should probably write a full post about this...
Everyone has to be baptized eventually.
