  • Human body’s just chalk full of gunk. Ok this one ain’t got the squeamish so if your easily grossed out quit readin here.

    One time the OR put out a memo stating that in order to save money we would start reprocessing (cleaning/disinfecting /sterilizing) colostomy bags. Now technically this is possible, as if you can scrub something clear of visible debris and biofilm the low level sterilization fluid “should” do its job. But I’ll tell yea, that’s not a task I’d wish on anyone. I spent 45 minutes cleaning the first (and only) one we got, gagging through my N95 till my boss came in and was like “DUDE THROW THAT SHIT AWAY WE AINT DOIN THAT!”. I thanked him, stripped my PPE off, scrubbed the metaphysical crap from my being and chain-smoked till I couldn’t smell anymore. I generated a phobia of human feces that day.
