Today, while working for a hospital security company, I had to assist in restraining a male patient while the nurses put a catheter in him. All I will say is that it looked like a worm trying to swallow a straw. FML

Had it done several times over the years, post-surgery. Just a twinge at the moment of insertion, but very covenient to be able to stay in bed and recover rather that stretching and straining trying to get out of bed every hour or two to pee. It DOES look worse than it really is, but an experienced professional can insert it comfortably and quickly. Hospital staff see, hear, smell, and touch it all! LOL

My vote is that the strongest smelling the hospital is melaena. (Blood in the stools: smells like death.)

Not entirely sure why you looked hahaha what did you expect! As a student nurse who will catheterise many patients over the years I'm gonna say f the patients lives

I had a reaction like that the first time I saw one done. As an RN, now it's just part of the job. Believe it or not there are worse things that can be done.

Speaking as nursing staff, that's your job description. If you don't like it, get a new job.

Welcome to Healthcare, and that's just for the newbies. Wait till you see someone with tapeworms coming out of its mouth.

Why would you even post this as an FML? You're hired as security in health care to do that stuff.. It's personal information that shouldn't be spread on the Internet

It can be actually. It's not breaking HIPPA because no names, location, age, or other personal information of the patient was gave except the patient was a male.

Reading this is like the definition of second-hand pain.
