I've also had patients deliver stools directly into my hands- not baby sized. The 1st couple of times it happens is gross- after- just funny

Sounds more like a nurse haha. In our hospital a doctor would not help a patient onto a bed pan if you paid them to haha.

Hey RNs: Ever cared for patients with the Dx of Mega-colon? Yikes. Another favorite: C. Diff. How about an active G.I. Bleed?

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I'm not a nurse, but how bad is it in humans? I know in animals it can basically be a death sentence (megacolon)

I had C Diff. I shit myself in front of my then partner and they didn’t immediately leave me. That’s how I knew I had to marry them.

Kind of short sighted to give her laxatives and not immediately drag her to a fucking toilet.

5 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 14

They don't always work and patients feel miserable. Not very nice to just drag them out of bed. We have folks to clean if needed.

Sadly nurses don’t know absolutely everything. You don’t know how long she has been in the hospital, only that she hasn’t pooped in awhile..

No worries just don't want you upset over something as silly as ignorance the comment could've been made by a ten year old.

Are you a health care worker? You don't give laxatives and then immediately place the patient on the toilet. It can take hours / days

Can confirm. Frequently happens when you roll a patient onto their side to change a dressing, new sheets, etc. Cheeks part- out it comes.

Happens all the time. Roll a patient over to clean in the morning bed bath, 10 minutes later they have a bm. Moving got things moving

The fact that it was a solid poop means this could have been so, so much worse. Why make up a comparatively tame story?
