I can "deal" with it, but given a choice, I'd just as soon avoid vomit as well as people who have pissed and shat themselves.
Blood.. meh.. doesn't bother me so much. I might get a bit distraught if I can't get the bleeding stopped, but the sight of it isn't going to send me over the edge.

All you need to know is the line all surgeons use.

All bleeding stops

I do have a few cases tonight where I actualy had to use my brain, otherwise i am on cruise control.

Tom

A penile absess huh? That one sounds kinda interesting. But why come to ER? Oh wait...medicaid, right?

For a while, I was beginning to think bloody stinky snatches was becoming your forte.

everyone has something that gets to them. my partner pukes whenever someone else pukes. i can't stand the smell of trach crust and one of the old guys couldn't handle open fractures

Guy was refered by his pmd because theyre useless and cant do anything anyway. I paged him at 2am to let him know all was well. He was none too happy about it but I told him if I am up he can be up too

Gurgling from a breathing tube is freakin' disgusting. The nasty shit that comes out of it isn't bad. It's the sound

Yeah, but usually someone gets upset if you let them bleed until it stops on its own.

there's a smell that goes along with it, but the gurgling sound makes me want to rip my ears off

That's something I know I would do.

I'm bad about waking people up in the middle of the night because they can't take care of their shit and I have to deal with it. If I have to be bothered with it, you can wake your ass up and be as frustrated about it as me.


Ok, so I'm not medical, but I am part of the first responders, where would I fit in in the twfix ER?

[tommymac]

I dont think much of anything bothers me anymore. Only stuff I hate doing are rape and child abuse cases but all the gory stuff is just part of the job.

the 2 smells that get me are lower GI bleeds ( a very distinctive odor) and smelly homeless guy feet.
