these are shocking. i also thought there may have been more anecdotes and odd situation, not just stuff up bums?…
OK, as a student nurse 20 years ago I was working on a male GU surgery ward. One of the old charectars on the ward had developed a chest infection post-op and was productive of really foul sputum. He was slightly deaf, & partially sighted.
End of a late shift one evening & I was sat with this guy, he started coughing so I passed him a sputum cup, and said "Use this".
"thanks Jon" he said, before knocking back the contents in one – to say it looked like chip shop mushy peas wouldn't be far off the mark.
I've never come as close to puking on duty as I did that evening!
