Maggots below the waist

...and then, there was that cat.

I twitch to this day remembering when I realized those gouge marks on the face of its dead owner were from Kitty having a feast! Kitty was quite content, and full!

Colostomy bags.

This is my ick factor.

Puke. I can do mucous, feces, urine, blood and various other secretions, I just can't do that nasty, post Tex-Mex and beer puke. It's everything I can do not to fire back.

Second is....ummmm......purulent discharge. Yeah that's it...purulent...
(insert a synonym for purulent and think of it's homonym).

If you dont burp them, go to change them and they explode all over. Poor new CNA got poo in her eye that way.

I'll have to put a second vote out for vomit. Makes me want to add to it.

 

[foxfire]

I can generaly handle urine, vomit, and most other icky stuff. But I can't stand lung butter, colostomy bags, and maggots. *gag*
Just about lost it replacing a trach during a respiratory shift.
Now my stomach is doing little flip flops thinking about the icky stuff.:wacko:

 

[MrBrown]

Mrs Brown?

Nah just kidding ... Brown's ick factor is poo, hmm Brown just thinks Brown volunteered to do all Brownlet changings :unsure:

.. hmm, *looks for delete button before Mrs Brown sees this

 

[bigbaldguy]

Smell of melena. After a recent experience with a doa who had a massive upper GI bleed I just get sick thinking about it. Luckily I haven't had to deal with a colostomy bag yet but I'm thinking that will be well up the list as well.

 

[pa132399]

havent had anything thats phazed me too much but the guy with the colostomy bag that emptied it before we transported him and pick a turd out of it with his bare hand and made the remark that it looked like a milk dud. ruined milk duds for the rest of my life

 

[pa132399]

wait ill have to change mine to the smell of a nursing home at 6am ruins the whole day

 

[Handsome Robb]

Puke for sure.
