Hmmm...
Crohns? IBS? Colitis? Hope things come out okay. Get it? *come out okay?*
I'm sorry.
When I started my job, my first patient I saw was in the hospital with Crohns. Not only did I have the joy of sitting 3 feet away from his fully loaded bedside commode, I also got a very descriptive account of his bowel habits for the last several days, complete with pictures on his cell phone. Yes. Pictures.
"This is me in my bloody underwear"
"This is my toilet"
"These are the bloody, poopy towels which I used to clean myself up".
It was too much, even for me. I politely told him, I'm a social worker, not a nurse, so put that shit away.
Okay. I really didnt say exactly that... but I wanted to!
RETCH!!
