Tell Me Your Grossest Story...

I've recently been touched by a truly inspirational poster on our BMB. It got some of us thinking about the gross things we've witnessed in our lives...

So share away!

Pants pissers? Booger eaters? Shit diggers? WATCHUGOT?!

Is it cheating to work in the medical field?

Do you want personal/family ones, or professional/work related, or both?

Anything and everything counts! When it comes to the field of grossness, there are no boundaries!

Grossest professional:

We had a patient who was involved in a MVC coming from lunch. He had an open break to his leg, but the bleeding was under control.

I had to get in the vehicle behind him, and hold c-spine while they cut him out.

Apparently he wasn't very good with pain, and started puking (projectile-like) at the windsheild, and it was splashing back (fortunately I had my helmet on, and my face shield blocked most of it.

We finally got him out, and strap him to the board, and he starts puking again, so they roll him towards me. Now I had puke on my helmet and my boots.

We get into my ambulance, and he puked about 3 more times before we got to the hospital. And it was all over him (in his wound, too), all over the gurney, and all over the ambulance. It took me 4 hours to get the ambulance back in service.

I know mine definitely won't top anything, but it's all I have.

I was in 6th grade and we had a chorus performance that night. So, we are all out there on the stands singing away and next thing I know I feel something warm on me. A girl had puked from behind me and it was all in my hair and down my clothes. She ran off, I was pretty much in shock and just stood there in front of the whole auditorium. Pretty sure she had something with seaweed in it before she came, because that is what the puke looked like.

I'm so glad my stomach isn't so weak anymore!

Personal: (hanging my head in shame)

This actually happened while DH and I were dating:

I was involved in a training incident at work, and ended up having to have my ACL and MCL repaired, and several vertebrae in my lower back fused. I had a homecare nurse, who came twice a day to help with things (bathing, changing, etc)

now-DH had been with me that day, went out to get groceries and feminine products (because nothing says AWESOME like starting your cycle, while incapacitated, and your boyfriend is the only one around)

On top of that, I had some bug I picked up at the hospital, and was still a little numb below the waist.

Long story short: now-DH comes back in the house, and I've soiled myself, through my clothes, on the bed, etc.

He had to help me get to the bathroom, clean me up, clean up the bed, and help me bathe and change.

But hey, he stuck around, and actually married me, lol!

I'm not as lyrical as Cruel, but here goes: I lived in SF while I was in college and worked part-time waiting tables. Leaving work late at night I was used to seeing, erm, colorful things. One night I was walking down Castro St and noticed a crowd watching something in a closed storefront entrance. As I got closer I saw that an elderly man (maybe 80) was giving another similarly-aged guy a blow job. In the seconds as I walked past the scene, the guy reached orgasm and in his excitement lost control of his bowels. Poop shot out everywhere. Disgusting. Scarring.

OH MY GOSH!

When I was pregnant with DS, I got constipated really bad one day. I was in the bathroom trying to poop and nothing would come out, no matter what. I ended up having to use my finger to extricate the poop from my butt. Fortunately, it wasn't messy poo but I was so grossed out. I told my friend (also a mom) and she sent me latex gloves and chopsticks in the mail in case it happened again LOL. Fortunately, it did not. Needless to say, I'm taking a stool softener nightly now so I don't have to go spelunking for poo in my own arse this time around.

missmiss307 · March 2014

DS formula-vomited all over DH's bare back and on our hardwood floors. The sound of puke hitting hardwoods ...

Also, when I was in high school, I was on a student club field trip. We stopped at Hardee's, and I had a sausage biscuit and some milk. Parents were driving us, so we were in vans and SUVs. I could tell I was about to be sick, so I asked the driver to pull of, but not before I puked all over the back seat and myself. We still had about two hours to go to our destination.

I saw a guy on the subway masturbating.

mrscutforth · March 2014

I'll play.

August 2012, DH and I took a baby moon to Destin, FL. I was 5 months pregnant with LO1. We had rented one of those 3-wheeled scooter things to drive around all day. Well we had driven it to the grocery store to get me some things to eat due to cravings and on the way back to the house we stayed at and it started raining. It was light at first and thought we could make the 3 miles back and it would stop along the way. Nope. It was a downpour. We were driving in the direction of the rain coming down and it hurt. DH and I laughed the whole way back. We pulled in the drive way and we were still laughing. I was laughing so hard I leaned over the side of the scooter and puked up my breakfast. I couldn't stop. I had never seen so much throw up in my life from myself. I was laughing thru the whole throw episode. Then I realized I had pissed myself all at the same time. I am one who throws up so hard I pee my pants. Still laughing, I sat in the scooter and told DH I had just peed on myself. More laughing. My sweet DH grabbed the water hose and hosed the throw up into the grass all the while still laughing. I will never forget. I even got a charm of a dune buggy for my bracelet to commemorate the event.

Nope. Gangrene is worse.

If neither of us is willing to concede, we could go with: purilant gangrene burns!

Beedeck · March 2014

I didn't witness this one, it's actually my sister's grossest story...

My sister was a nurses aid at a hospital when she was in college there was a lady that used to come into the ER a couple times a month because her colostomy hole would get infected and it needed to be cleaned out and she would get antibiotics. My sister asked the nurse one day why this lady had so many infections .... turns out she is a prostitute! Apparently some guys pay for that type of thing.

OMG I hope you don't mean they do it in the colostomy hole!

Yes! I debated whether or not I should actually spell it out. The thought alone is just vomit inducing!

tamarar5 · March 2014

You know, reading some of these makes me feel better about mine!

When I lived in Italy, I was coming out of a club one night and some guy was pissing of the bridge overhead. Yep. Right on me.

I'm a dental assistant and the worst things I ever see/smell involve periodontal issues and/or puss.

Once we had a guy come in who had a root canal started, but never finished. Appearently it had been a few years and he just never went back. It had abscessed again and we went back in to retreat and finish the root canal. We first had to lance the abscess on the gum beside the tooth and close it up with sutures. No big deal, we do stuff like that sometimes. Then as soon as we got into the nerve space of the tooth, tons of bloody puss came pouring out and this horrible rotten smell filled the entire office. I had to quickly grab a second suction because there was too much puss for just one. Luckily the guy had a rubber dam on so it wasn't going into his mouth, but the smell was so bad he started crying.

So. Gross.

Edit: I can't spell abscess.

I would hate your job.

herecomesthesun · March 2014

OMG the colostomy hole deal gives me the willies. Gross.

Um about the only thing I can think of we were visiting H's parents for a weekend while we were still just dating. I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst migraine I have ever had. I had my eyes wide open but couldn't see- so I made my way to the bathroom (shared with his sister's room) but it was locked from the inside. There was a sink in my room and I was desperate... sooo yeah, stopped up sink.

I was mortified to wake H up because it was so smelly and awful and 3:30 AM but I also didn't want his mom finding out. I woke him up around 5:00 AM after blindly finding and camping out near a different toilet in the house. H cleaned up my puke with his bare hands, cleaned me up, and took care of me for a few hours until we could both go back to sleep. And obviously, did not dump me.

I knew then he was a keeper.

Rannndi · March 2014

So I used to work at a nursing home in high school as a nurse's aide...every day is the grossest in one of those places, but this one day topped them.

So I helped an old man to the restroom, and I got him back into his bed. He was known to be an old man-pervert, so when I left the room and his call light came back on, we were a bit suspicious. A male nurse's aide said he was going to wait at the door to see what he said to me...

I go back in the room, "What can I help you with?"

Old man, "Well if you wouldn't have rushed out so fast, you would have known that I had a bowel movement in my pants." ***I had JUST brought him back from the toilet.***

The male nurse's aide barrels through the door and says, "I'll take care of it for you."

Old man had an "oh shit" face.

Male nurse's aide comes out of the room and says, "No bowel movement, but there was definitely old man wood."

UMMMMMM.....

We both have our physical challenges, so I think it may, overall, have evened out by now!

@potterowl, this is me and my face while reading your post

rockyrollgirl · March 2014

I think I posted these stories on here before, maybe.

1) Fast food job when I was in high school. Somebody smeared shit all over the wall of the men's bathroom. I refused to clean it.

2) Parvo puppy with roundworms. Another tech threw the towels in the wash. First, they did not use bleach. Second, they threw all the worms in there too. I was not happy. Of course, nobody fessed up.

3) Dog came in with severe diarrhea that was dried up and stuck in his fur, which was one huge mat. There was maggots. I can not with maggots. I just can't.

I could go on, but I will not.

Oh one more, this was way back in Elementary school. I threw my retainer away on accident. My mom made me go with her to search for it in the dumpster. "That thing was expensive!" She yelled at me as I was crying and trying to hold my breath. Oh the stench! I was super careful after that.

Waaaay way back, about ten years ago, when my ex and I had just started dating we were hanging out at my place with my roommates and some of my roommates friends. Being grad students there was beer involved. And then, being California, someone broke out a pipe and some weed.

One of the occasional downsides of smoking weed and drinking alcohol simultaneously would be 'the spins'. As a total weed noob at the time (actually, that is still fairly accurate) I had no idea about this phenomenon. My ex had been a total stoner in high school and should have known better.

The gathering starts to break up, he and I head inside, and I notice he's looking a little green around the gills. He heads for the bigger of the two bathrooms (both were communal bathrooms for the 5 housemates). For some reason I go in with him...he must have asked me to? He doesn't make it to the toilet and projectile vomits ALL OVER the wall and the toilet itself.

I'm not a sympathetic vomiter thankfully, but meanwhile I was getting the spins like a mofo. I remember trying to hang on to a towel rack. I shouted at him to move out of the way and proceeded to vom like crazy into the toilet. And then I was done.

He continued to puke 2 or 3 more times, while I began the horrifying task of trying to clean up the mess. While dizzy and drunk and high. (I do not recommend this.) Thankfully all the housemates either went out for the night or stayed away, I kept hoping no one would knock on the door.

Eventually I figured it was clean enough after about 15 minutes of hell, and we stumbled off to my room to sleep it off. The next morning I found a few spots I had missed (ugh!)

To sum it up: Drugs are bad, mmkay?

While reading this all I could picture was that hilarious scene from the movie Bridesmaids when they all get food poisoning in the bridal shop... Hilarious!

This happened to me too! I accidentally threw mine away after wrapping it in a napkin at lunch (I always forgot the retainer holder at home). My parents went digging, but couldn't find it anywhere. I still have the gap between my two front teeth because they refused to buy me another retainer to fix it.

Yep, same thing. In the napkin at lunch haha.

cblakin · March 2014

When I was working in critical care, a guy came in with a small bowel obstruction. no big thing. buuuuut... he had an abscess in his small bowel before the obstruction, and it basically fused with his stomach and then ruptured. luckily the rupture occurred into the stomach and not into his blood stream, but not so luckily this resulted in everything from his small bowel going into his stomach, as it could not go further down the intestines due to the obstruction.

this guy had spent hours throwing up his own liquid shit. and of course, every time he did he was crying out about it and the whole place smelled like shit/vomit. it was horrible, and a few staff members had to leave whenever he did to throw up themselves.

we put a nasogastric tube in, which is a tube through your nose to your stomach so we could suction the shit out of his stomach. usually an NG tube is not super pleasant to have put in. after i placed it, he started crying and thanking me. then we got him a bunch of tiny containers of scope.

he was fine, but it's what i always think of when seeing that scene in harry potter where ron throws up slugs, and i have to leave the room or vomit myself. worst day at work ever.

Raclla · March 2014

Staph infection has probably been the grossest thing I've dealt with. I had a spot on my calf and another one near my bikini line. Seriously painful and seriously gross.

I really don't have anything to compete with this shit (literally in some cases!), but the grossest thing that's ever happened to me personally was in middle school. We had to sell candy bars for a school fundraiser. I had almost sold my whole box and just bought the rest so I could stop (and so I could eat the candy.) A friend and I were stuffing them in our mouths before recess ended when I noticed a wiggling feeling in my mouth... I looked down and the candy far was full of bug larvae and actual bugs. I immediately started puking chocolate and bug parts all over the sidewalk.

The worst part is, the taste was exactly like a Crunch bar, which is something I cannot eat to this day. Ruined forever! (Also, I suppose, it was bad that I sold a bunch of bug-infested candy bars to innocent strangers...)

cachoque · March 2014

I have two...

I was in Myrtle Beach on a bachelorette trip during biker week. We witnessed an accident where a girl wearing nothing but a string bikini fell off the back of a bike and skidded on the blacktop on her bare ass for a good 10 to 15 feet. She got up and blood was just streaming down. Later that night we went to a night club and we were walking past a girl grinding on a guy in a mini skirt. Just as I passed I felt splatter. She actually started peeing while grinding and it splattered all over. The dude (who was clearly a stranger) pushed her on the ground and she landed right in it.

Next, I was on a plane and the guy behind me started projectile vomiting blood right as we started to take off. Some of it landed in my hair and on the back of my shirt. It lasted a good 15 minutes before the attendant could come after we leveled off. By that time, the stain set in and I couldn't wash it out in the bathroom. The smell was retched.

Lol, more because of the nature of the incidents. We try to not take serious injuries and deaths lightly at work. But some of the situations are truly "wtf?"

Truelove21 · March 2014

My dad had diarreah on a family road trip and we all had been drinking after him even though he warned us not too. When we got home everyone had to use the toilet every 30 minutes all weekend. The entire house reaked.

I threw up on my boyfriend while sleeping in his bed on 3 different party nights. Actually we weren't even dating then. We just kind of hooked up one night as old friends and decided to be drinking buddies among other things. He always cleaned it up and then stayed awake to watch me til the morning. We eventually started dating and are now married. Go figure. I don't drink anymore though.
