What do you consider to be “gross”?

Okra. Okra is gross no matter how you cook it.

Seriously, there isn’t much that grosses me out. I’ve pretty much seen everything over the years. MVA’s, GSW to the face, stabbings. Been puked on too many times to count, had to deal with “finger painters”.. who are they? They’re the people who play in their shit, smearing it all over the place.

The one that that gives me the gags in regards to health care, and it’s not that it’s gross, is suctioning a patient. I can’t even deal with a tongue depressor without gagging, so just the action of suctioning a person gags me. The whole shoving the tube deep into someones mouth, and upper throat, or if they’re trached even, makes me gag.

I hate boiled okra but it's really good oven fried the southern way.

yeah, I'm not a fan of suctioning either. SHIT is my main gross out thing in healthcare.

lol Shit can be pretty bad!

There was a patient that I used to take care of. She would put on her call light, and when you opened the door, she would throw a handful of crap at you. So we used a clipboard. We'd open the door, stick the clipboard in, she'd throw the poo, and we'd run in before she could reload lol
