Today, I saw a man lying on the street. He seemed unconscious, so, being a nurse I went over and found he had choked. I removed the object from his throat and used CPR to revive him. My reward? A mouthful of vomit. FML

i think saving a life might be a reward

agree with everyone else. So you had to deal with an unappealing part of your job. I think it's worth it if it means saving someone's life.

that's what happens when you blow too much air in. Overflows into the stomach.

You must be a pretty new nurse to be grossed out by that. You're on the wrong career path-- hope you can handle 40 more years of vomit, urine, diarrhea, infections, and death.

Well, it's one thing to see vomit and blood and other stuff and to get it on your clothes, it's another thing to get it in your mouth.

you should have known that happens when you perform CPR. you're a nurse! but hey, you probly saved a life :)

Come on, give him a break with the "what did you expect" and "you saved a man's life, that beats being puked on" comments. I'm sure he knows this, but doesn't he have the right to vent about being puked on while doing CPR SOMEWHERE? I mean, regardless of the circumstances, getting someone else's vomit into your mouth IS kinda disgusting [also, if OP had open wounds in the mouth and there was blood in the vomit, I personally would worry about HIV just a little]

you make finding an unconcious body sound like an everyday thing.
