Really guys poop and vomit stories
? Stay classy SDN
But mine trumps all
Just being a lowly emt I have had the unfortunate experience of this... except worse. I work in a volunteer fire department with about 6-7 other medics and this particular case there were three of us.
A Paramedic and I were in the back after having loaded a 450lb woman (had to call for 4 more firefighters to move her) who fell and had severe pelvic pain as a result so we frickin have to get her mostly naked
. (Thank god for that bra
) and she already smelled horrible.
Now we carry a little jar of Vicks to rub under our noses for times like these yet the stench still cut through.
She was on a couple of meds (no surprise) and one of the side effects was diarrhea. Well in the midst of her pain she basically let loose the foulest smelling Grade A diarrhea you could imagine. She got sick of that smell and then threw up on top of it. Body fluids were now everywhere in the ambulance.
Our ambulance that we were in was the older one, and it didn't have an smell exhaust system like the new ones do.
While I am trying by hardest to keep my stomach down, our driver who had his windows down had to frickin pull over to vomit out the door. The rest of the story is rather uneventful as we deliver the patient. (Some CNA's had to clean her up first
)
I ended up vomiting twice during the clean up of the rig. The ambulance was out of commission for a week while hourly frebreeze, various aerosols, bleaches, and exorcisms took place to the remove the smell.
But now I can go through life having smelt the worst smell there is, with the minor exception of a perforated gangrene rotten bowl.
