From John…

The worst experience I ever had was before I was a nurse. I was working the ambulances and sometimes we had to go check on the elderly.

We were dispatched to a scene to check on this elderly man who had been acting strangely. When we arrived the police were already there and told us to be careful as it was nasty in the house. How bad could it be though? SO I opted to not wear any PPE’s.

So we enter this very dark house and the stench was awful. We were sourounded by decades old newspapers, rotting cat food, and yes… you guessed it at cats. There were at least a hundred of the furry little guys runnng around. It looked like they had been using the house as a huge cat box. The place was covered in cat shit and urine.. it was awful!

So my partner and I get o the man and try to sitpic him to the gurney and exit the house. But as I went to get the man I slipped.. landing head first in cat shit and urine. I instantly puked and had to go outside. My poor partner had to get one of the cops to help him carry the old guy as I was busy barfing.
