Today, I was dealing with a psychiatric patient with a colonostomy bag. She got agitated and ripped the bag from her abdomen and threw it at my face. I got a bag filled with poop thrown at my face. FML

Today, I was working as a paramedic when my patient's colostomy bag exploded all over me. I was covered in fecal matter, with 5 hours left on my shift. FML

Hard pass

Today, while working at the hospital, I had a patient with a blocked bowel. It was so bad, feces were entering into her stomach. While leaning down to talk with her, she threw up. I was both vomited and defecated on at the same time. FML

Today, I got projectile-vomited on while trying to administer meds to a patient. Twenty minutes later, a patient with schizophrenia threw his shitty diaper at my face. All this happened in the first hour of my 12-hour shift. I didn't bring any extra scrubs and I live an hour away from work. FML

Today, I was changing a wound bandage on one of my patient’s buttocks. I forgot to initial and date the bandage per hospital regulation. As I kneeled in to write, the patient let out the biggest loudest fart directly in my face. The worst part? Some of it sprayed out, some on my face. FML

Today, my violent geriatric patient was trying to escape the facility. When I intervened, she poked my belly then told me I was squishy and that I might explode. FML

Bag for life

Today, my ambulance got called out for a "stomach pain" patient. Upon assessment, the guy really did have stomach pain. His colostomy bag fell off a week ago, so to stop the crap from falling out, he duct taped it shut. It exploded when I helped him up. FML

True hero

Today, I once again had to clean up a shower and bathroom covered in feces, because of client with incontinence. It smelt so bad that I couldn’t hide my reaction; the client saw my face and I could see the embarrassment on theirs. I spent the rest of the day feeling like an asshole. FML

Today, I had to check up on a 400-pound inmate who was very upset about being locked up. When I got to his cell, he threw one of his own turds at me through the bars. I took a hit. FML

Today, a colostomy bag exploded on me while I was waiting in line at the pharmacy. Yesterday, my shoes were peed on by a child while I was at work. FML

number 1: Big men don't swear just to appear more powerful. Big men swear only to illustrate a point. Now to illustrate a point: You must be a small piece of shit.

#22, pretty sure I know how to spell. Maybe spend less time hassling me & more time getting that junkie in your display pic into rehab... she looks terrible

Well at least #1 apologised but with that said, #24's reply was hilarious. OP, sucks to be you. I suggest some sort of protective body and facial gear when approaching this patient again.

well as a psychiatrist you should have known that some patients wouldn't be the most well mannered people...

FYL but not many people can say they've legitimately had shit thrown at them...so that's kinda cool, I guess...

i don't think this person was a nurse but i'm not really sure why at least you could tell people your day today shittier than theirs because they probably never had poop thrown in their face #19 they probably can but maybe you're too dumb to know it #23 only cool people use the word "poop" instead of "shit" regularly
