From Amanda…

I was working in CCU and was making my rounds when I kept heard this awful slpat sound. Unsure where it was coming from I started looking in all the bays. Eventually I saw one of the older Alzheimer’s patients was the source of the noise. We had restrained him because he was attacking nurses so he was laying there coughing up loogies and spitting them straight up in the air. Where did that land? Of course right on his face….

I stood there for a stunned for a few seconds, hoping I wouldn’t end up his next target. Then as I as I stood there I was wondering how in the hell I was gonna get this cleaned up?

It made me retch just hearing the noises…

Anyways off I went to get some wash clothes to clean him up but when I came back I saw two other nurses working on it. They hadn’t seen me so I just slinked off…. obviously twos company threes a crowd right? ;O)
