Quote - 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
LOL I'm with you there, I'm a nurse too, but sputum is they only thing I cannot stand.
The best & most beautiful
things in the world cannot be seen nor touched... but felt in the
heart.
