I'm a nurse. Nothing grosses me out,  :laugh:  I  frequently talk blood and guts over dinner  :laugh:

The one thing that makes me queezy is phlegm from a trach that is  slimy and thick and so sticky that when the patient coughs it sticks to the wall across the room!  And yes, that does happen!! So you quickly learn that  when you are suctioning a trach, you stand well back and to the side when the person starts to cough because otherwise the results can be pretty darn gross,  LOL

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
