The skin is permanently tainted unfortunately, please replace it with a new one.

An important lesson was learned that day. Never stand on the receiving end of an enema, incision and drainage, manual disempaction, decompression or in front of someone who says "I feel sick".

This is what happens when science memes and shitposts merge

Nurses are such integral parts of a functioning healthcare system, and it annoys me how they are systematically devalued. If we could wave a magic wand and make every nurse into a doctor (with the magic including the extra money it would take to fund this), it would be a downgrade. We often talk about nurses as if they're just doctors, but worse, when in fact the role that they fulfill is qualitatively different to doctors and requires a different, not lesser, skillset.

Imagine the relief that patient felt. That dump was backed up to the bottom of their neck!

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A friend once had to go to the hospital due to extreme and chronic constipation, and whilst her... evacuation was less... explosive than this, she describes the relief as being so great that for a few glorious moments, she forgot that she was in the ER with a tube up her ass (and that the tube was only necessary when multiple members of medical staff had failed to move things along manually).

"Largest BM a doctor witnessed in his career" sure is a nice achievement to unlock.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Largest BM a doctor witnessed in his career

So far.

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How many BMs has the doctor witnessed? Is this a common thing for doctors to watch?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

2-3k. Very common.

Bowel movement. Alternatively, bowel master, which is probably that poor nurse's nickname now.

Hey Ian! Want to BM my next campaign? 😙

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Bowel Movement.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 weeks ago

More undergrads killing each other to get into med school should see this.

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

I need it measured in courics for it to be a valid large bm.

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Literally holy sized

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 3 weeks ago

But where's the picture of the poo baby

[–] philpo@feddit.org 12 points 2 weeks ago

Haha. I've seen worse. Wait. I was hit by worse in worse areas and stool is by far not the worst thing that hit me.

....starts sobbing

I know why by now I prefer my desk and only ocassionally venture back into patient facing work.

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Also had to get custom scrubs made, to fit his massive dong.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

"Babe what's the matter you seem upset since getting home from work."

"Somebody shat at me."

"Do you mean shat on you?"

"No..."

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I bet that felt amazing.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That must be the best shit ever.

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 2 weeks ago

Definitely the best Shit Show.

[–] JTskulk@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I bet that feels so good as the patient.

[–] monogram@feddit.nl 4 points 2 weeks ago
[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago
