Nurses Are Sharing The Wildest Things They’ve Seen In The ER, And We’re So Grossed Out
One of the most demanding but also most rewarding jobs in the world is working in an emergency room. And with that reward comes a ton of compelling and challenging scenarios. Most emergency room doctors, we’re confident, could regale you with fascinating tales for hours on end. There will be humorous and bizarre tales among them. How wacky? View these stories from nurses that may freak you out in addition to being surprising and bizarre.
LOL! Call 911!
When you’re a teenager or in your college years, there are occasions when you may believe that particular things are quite humorous, even though they aren’t. Pranks are often played around this time of year, despite the fact that most of the time they are not particularly dangerous. We sincerely hope that this young lady has at least a passing capacity for comedy. If that wasn’t the case, she was going to have a fairly rough time with the whole issue. We sincerely hope that something like this did not occur prior to the development of mobile phones.
Happy Birthday!
The age of 21 is a significant turning point in one’s life, and it is imperative that this momentous occasion be commemorated in some way, even if it’s only with a wild party. After all, you are now able to do things that you were previously unable of doing, which can occasionally lead to some really fascinating predicaments.
Happy Birthday!
Having said that, we are not convinced that you should engage in behavior so reckless that it lands you in the emergency room with half of your butt cheek severed. While we were working on this unfortunate guy, we aren’t entirely certain that we would have been able to hold back our laughs.
The Great Outdoors
When you spend time in the great outdoors, it’s pretty much a given that there are going to be some creepy crawlies that think you look like something they would like munching on. Because of this, a lot of individuals end up with bug bites, but the majority of the time, they don’t become quite as severe as they have in this instance.
The Great Outdoors
If the nurses and physicians at the initial hospital in the area had done a good job at their jobs, she probably would have been in much better shape today. After reading this story, we might just change our minds about going camping ourselves.
That’s Not Right
The field of medicine is not for those who are easily frightened, as there are many aspects of the job that have the ability to make a person sick to their stomach. Dealing with the necrotic foot of another person is likely to rank high on our list of activities that will make us feel unwell.
That’s Not Right
That by itself would be plenty revolting; however, if bits and parts of that footfall fell off, that would be the end of us! Even so, we feel compelled to point out that we have no idea why this nurse did not consider the potential of this outcome; after all, the foot in question is necrotic.
Keep an Eye Out
It is imperative that you maintain constant vigilance whenever you are responsible for the care of a small child. When you have a million different things to do at the same time, you run the risk of forgetting something important. Naturally, in the majority of cases, the something in question will not result in your having to go to the emergency department.
Keep An Eye Out
This poor granny, who must have been in such disbelief, has our deepest condolences. On top of that, the medical personnel had to work on a child who was only 8 years old; we can’t even begin to fathom how they felt in that situation.
Eyeballing It
The decision to make one’s home in a major metropolitan area has many positive aspects, but it also has some negative aspects, such as an increased likelihood of being a victim of crime. The event that took place in the emergency room undoubtedly caused the patient to reconsider where he currently resides.
Eyeballing It
It is very remarkable that this man did not lose his composure (or his eye), kept his wits about him, and made his way to the hospital in a composed manner in order to receive care for his injury.
Can I Get an Eyepatch?
When you participate in outdoor activities such as hunting or archery, you should be aware that there is always the potential for injury. However, the endings don’t usually turn out like this too often. Regarding this whole issue, we have a lot of questions, including the following one: how did the arrow travel to where it ended up?
Can I Get An Eyepatch?
Furthermore, even the medical professionals working in the emergency area must have found it to be a remarkable sight to take in. When they were finished with the operation, we can’t help but think about the conversations that took place.
Look Out!
There are certain types of outdoor activities, such as riding about on a jet ski, that is inherently more hazardous than others. If you’re like most people, you probably think that water sports should have fewer risks associated with them, but after reading this story, you’ll probably think quite differently.
Look Out!
As they rolled him in, this must have been a sight to witness for anyone who was there. Even though the nurse who told us this story didn’t know how it turned out, we’re going to cross our fingers and hope that everything turned out okay for the guy.
I Do
When working with power tools of any kind, there is always the possibility of being injured. When you are in your workshop, it is imperative that you maintain focus and operate in a secure manner. Accidents are inevitable; it doesn’t matter how many times you go over the safety rules.
I Do
This narrative contains a great number of elements that, if they were real, would send us into a panic. However, if we had been in this nurse’s position, using the Q-tips to do what needed to be done might have been the single most horrific experience for us.
You’ll Put an Eye Out
Accidents can occur at any time, regardless of how cautious you try to be. People have the misconception that the tools found in workshops are the cause of the majority of accidents that occur in these spaces. However, there are situations when it’s nothing more complicated than stumbling and falling.
You’ll Put An Eye Out
If we had glanced into that cup and seen what the nurse had done, we could have gotten sick to our stomachs. To come up with a solution in such a short amount of time, this individual needs both strong nerves and a level brain. If it weren’t for this sad event, we’d be willing to guess that this is the kind of guy you’d want working in your workshop.
That Doesn’t Feel Right!
When you are in a committed relationship, it can be tough when there are factors that prevent you from being physically intimate with one another. Therefore, when things return to normal, the first thing you naturally want to do is get back into your intimacy routine. This is something that you will naturally want to do.
That Doesn’t Feel Right!
We, like these professionals in the medical field, would have been stunned to see what happened. We hadn’t the slightest idea that something like this was ever a possibility! That brings the total number of things about which we need to be concerned up to one more.
Who Left That There?
When people are feeling particularly close to one another, they often let their inhibitions go out the window. It appears that all that ardor can turn out to be rather exhilarating, or it can turn out to be pretty terrible. We don’t know how you feel, but we have a lot of questions, and we’re not even sure where to begin. Do you feel the same way?
Who Left That There?
On the other hand, we will say this much: when this nurse heard this, we are positive that there was a great deal of giggling going on. Of course not in front of the patient, but as soon as they were out of earshot, there had to have been some jokes about pigs.
You Have Some Passengers
When you have a cut of any kind, you need to make sure that it stays clean. This is done to ensure that the wound will heal properly and that there will be no possibility of infection. Evidently, this person did not follow the instructions given to him by his doctor or, for that matter, any common sense.
You Have Some Passengers
This seems like it was taken straight from a horror movie, and we can’t even begin to fathom how the nurse must have felt when she discovered all of that in the wound.
I Like Cheese!
Who doesn’t enjoy cheese (apart from, say, vegans and individuals who can’t tolerate lactose)? Cheese is truly wonderful since it can be used in a wide variety of ways, it has a wonderful flavor, and it is rich in calcium (which means that it is also somewhat healthy). We believe that some gouda, cheddar, or parmesan cheese ought to accompany each and every meal.
I Like Cheese!
On the other hand, when you eat cheese, you should chew it well before swallowing large portions of it. We can’t help but marvel how on earth they managed to get a piece of cheese that weighed 18 ounces all the way down their throat and into their digestive tract.
Surprise!
When it comes to how they spend their free time, folks choose to do some pretty bizarre things, and we’re not here to pass judgment. Everyone has the right to their own things, but it seems that sometimes those items might land you spending the night in the operating room.
Surprise!
We are curious as to why this individual believed that this was a smart gamble to take, as well as curious as to the expressions that appeared on the faces of the physicians and nurses when they discovered what precisely they were dealing with.
Let’s See What the Problem Is!
When a limb is broken, the healing process can be a drawn-out ordeal that can be quite frustrating. However, we are fairly certain that it does not take a leg an entire year to recover, and thus we are perplexed as to why this woman believed it was a good idea to keep the cast on for that amount of time.
Let’s See What The Problem Is!
If we had been this nurse when they went to crack up the cast and saw what they saw, we would have been out cold and looking for someone to aid us the moment we saw what they saw and would have been on the floor within a matter of seconds.
Is That a Problem?
Regularly, medical professionals confer with colleagues from other medical specialties since each individual brings a unique set of skills to the table, and it is essential that these many areas of expertise be coordinated. We can’t even begin to fathom how unnerving this circumstance must have been for the dentist, given that we know consultations with dentists are often very calm.
Is That A Problem?
This situation sounds like it was taken straight from a scary movie. We have no idea how the physicians and nurses were able to continue their work despite being confronted with such a horrible scene; we all know that we would have been unable to do so.
Gross!
When it comes to matters of personal cleanliness, each individual follows their own routine. And it differs from person to person, but one thing is certain: you absolutely have to make sure that everything is cleaned the right way. If you were unaware of that fact before reading this narrative, it will make that point abundantly plain to you.
Gross!
When you consider how people feel about roaches, you can imagine how terrifying this situation must have been for them. In point of fact, we have no doubt that this nurse continued to experience nightmares long after the event in question had concluded.
You Have Been Screwdrivered!
There is a wide variety of material that contributes to a person’s inability to relive their past experiences. It may be the result of taking a drug, the simple passage of time, or any number of other medical factors. Therefore, we can empathize with the annoyance that a person feels when they have to hold their bodily functions in for an extended period of time without being able to use the restroom.
You Have Been Screwdrivered!
The lesson that we’ve taken away from this anecdote is that the one thing you absolutely must not do is intervene in the situation and try to find a solution to the issue on your own. Who in their right mind could have thought that this would be a good idea?!
Too Close
There is always the potential for danger when working on a farm or ranch. There are all sorts of things, including hefty machinery, animals, and other potential hazards, which could result in you having to spend some time in the hospital. But because tractors are often quite sluggish, we would expect that this is one accident that could be easily avoided if proper precautions were used.
Too Close
We owe these doctors and nurses a debt of gratitude because if we were in their shoes, we never would have been able to handle the situation as well as they did. There would have been a need for the professionals working in the emergency room to provide care for two different patients.
Right of Way
It is extremely risky and irresponsible to operate a heavy vehicle after having one or more drinks, especially if you have had more than one. You could cause harm not only to yourself, but also to other people, and the harm you cause could be just as awful or perhaps worse. People, please remember to not drink and drive.
Right Of Way
It is incredible that this person was able to survive an accident that may have been avoided by using common sense. It’s also a miracle that this nurse didn’t pass out when she saw the floor through this man’s body; it’s hard to believe she could do it.
Not a Good Night
When it comes to everything that takes place in the emergency room, we have no doubt that the situations that involve children are the ones that take up the most space in the memories of the doctors and nurses who work there. No one enjoys the sight of a youngster in pain.
Not A Good Night
If we saw this young girl come in with this type of injury, regardless of whether or not we are parents, we would want to comfort her and be there for her in any way that we could. We would still like to be there even if it could be difficult for us to keep our lunch down since we would be attempting to keep it down.
There’s Something Else
Someone driving up and walking themselves into the hospital while appearing to have just stepped out of a horror movie must have been a very scary sight for the staff there. When this nurse got to the bottom of this matter, we’re also sure that she wasn’t expecting to see what she saw, and we’re sure that she was shocked by what she discovered.
There’s Something Else
We don’t think that’s exactly what people mean when they tell you to “spill your heart out,” so we’ll just go ahead and do that. It’s a good thing that this nurse retained their composure and swiftly attended to the problem with the exposed heart.
I Can Make It
When people are young and have consumed a few too many of those adult beverages, they are more likely to make foolish decisions. They frequently believe they are capable of things that are simply not doable, and when this occurs, it frequently results in them needing medical attention.
I Can Make It
Taking care of this girl must have been challenging for the nurses and doctors who were working there. We are relieved that her reckless adolescence came to an end without leaving her with horrendous irreversible damage. This fool has a lot of good luck.
So Sad!
The day you get married is meant to be the happiest day of your life, at least that’s the message conveyed by innumerable movies, books, and songs. It’s just so tragic that this woman was just enjoying her marriage when she suddenly collapsed from a heart attack.
So Sad!
We can’t even begin to fathom how challenging it must have been for the medical professionals to break the news to her family and to the young man who was about to become a widower that she had passed away.
Beware of Dog
Sadly, there are moments when our furry companions can be the most terrifying thing that could ever happen to us. It is irrelevant whether they are able to complete the task because they have been taught how to do it or because there is something wrong with them. It is a terrible tragedy that this woman was injured by the dog that belonged to her son.
Beware Of Dog
We can’t even begin to fathom how the emergency medical technicians and nurses who had to respond to this emergency were feeling at that same moment. However, the fact that they did not give up on her and that she did in fact survive is very remarkable.
Too Much Pressure
CPR is the first action that the majority of medical professionals and emergency medical technicians take when they notice that a person has stopped breathing (chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions). That being said, if you’re dealing with someone who is already undergoing surgery, this could prove to be difficult.
Too Much Pressure
This must have come as a complete surprise to everyone who was in the room. The fact that they were able to respond quickly enough to save the man demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that medical professionals are the real-life embodiment of the superhero archetype.
That’s Where That Went
There is a correlation between being somewhat obese and having a significant amount of excess skin. This indicates that further precautions need to be taken when they come in for their scheduled surgical procedure. When this nurse was assigned this assignment, we have little doubt that she had no idea what she would find in her search.
That’s Where That Went
When the nurse discovered the Oreo, it’s likely that she was surprised, to say the least. We can only hope that this patient began to pay closer attention to her personal hygiene after that point.
Kids Say the Darndest Things
Children enjoy getting into everything. They won’t know any different, so they’ll reach out and grasp things they shouldn’t. But they also have a way of handling situations better than adults could ever hope to.
Kids Say The Darndest Things
In all honesty, we would have to chuckle a little if we were this nurse and this child stated this. Given that the best medicine is laughing, it’s really impressive that this young person handled losing a finger with such good humor (although we doubt it will help him get it back).
I Drive Stick
A normal car is preferred by many drivers over an automated one. But in this guy’s case, we’re confident that following this mishap, he might think twice about holding such an opinion. The nurse received a severe eye lashing, nevertheless!
I Drive Stick
The expression of “what the heck” that is currently on this nurse’s face is one that we cannot fault her for having. Even though we know it wouldn’t have been very reassuring to the unfortunate individual, we still would have given him that look.
Parental Permission
Where do I even start with this? Who originally gave this girl permission to acquire that kind of piercing is the first query that enters our minds. The question is: Why in the world did she allow it to become so seriously infected that she needed to go to the hospital?
Parental Permission
The nurse was undoubtedly more kind to this young girl than we would have been. Not that this circumstance wasn’t enough in the first place, but there have surely been some comments and even a few images to deter her from ever wanting to do this again!
Don’t Touch That
The kitchen is probably one of the most perilous areas in any home. Kids can get their hands into a variety of places where an accident is certain to follow, so this is especially true if they are around.
Don’t Touch That
We never would have been able to manage the situation, as well as the nurse, did. If we were in the same room as the parent of this unfortunate youngster, we both would have been crying. It must have been a horrific experience!
Losing It
When you work in any area of a hospital, whether it be as a nurse or a doctor, you will undoubtedly come into contact with patients who are experiencing problems related to their mental health. These individuals have a propensity to behave in a unique manner, which often results in very entertaining stories.
Losing It
The fact that this woman was moving around in her nude state is strange enough on its own, but some of the things she was saying and the remainder of the story were incredibly inappropriate and led to a situation that was pretty unpleasant.
Deep Sleep
There is a good chance that you know someone who constantly seems to be able to sleep through any situation, which may sound amazing but isn’t necessarily the healthiest thing to do. When you are sleeping so deeply that you are unable to sense things like this, it is perhaps time to contact a doctor about your condition.
Deep Sleep
When the Q-tips were being removed, we would have given anything to have been able to hear the questions that the nurse had to ask the patient. It’s possible that the gruesome pictures were well worth it.
Take That!
Every day, nurses and doctors go to work anticipating the opportunity to help people while also being exposed to heartbreaking situations. Unhappily, the vast majority of them anticipate that something bizarre and out of the ordinary will also take place.
Take That!
Not only would we have been appalled if someone had thrown pebbles at us, but the location in which she was keeping them was positively unsanitary. Even yet, we think it’s safe to assume that she won’t ever misplace it if she uses it as her purse, right?
Tipping the Scale
This whole situation is really insane. The fact that he leaped out of the window and stole a police car is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his criminal activities. We have no reason to doubt that the nurse in question was caught off guard by the events of that particular day. But it did, and that’s how we came to have such an unbelievable tale.
Tipping The Scale
The only thing that’s puzzling us, and we’re pretty sure the nurse was wondering the same thing, is why he decided to stop and weigh himself. It’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever find out.
This Is the Culprit
When you don’t know what exactly is triggering your allergic reaction, having an allergy might pose a significant threat to your health. This individual was fortunate in that mussels are a rather common allergen, which allowed for a relatively speedy diagnosis of the problem.
This Is The Culprit
But it’s quite funny that he believed he needed to bring the live mussel with him as proof (or maybe he thought it was like a snake bit?). In any case, it’s very funny that he thought he needed to bring it with him. In any event, these nurses were incredibly kind, and during their shift, they got to hang out with a cute cat!
Not What You Think
It’s easy to lose your mind as a parent if your child is struggling in any way since you want to protect them at all costs. You have a tendency to lose control of your emotions, at which point you will frequently say things that you do not intend and accuse other people of actions that they did not commit.
Not What You Think
These nurses showed a great deal of patience with the patient, far more than we believe we ourselves would have been able to muster under similar circumstances. At the very least, when it came down to it, he expressed a lot of regrets.
Spork You
The spork is a remarkable innovation that should be utilized by a greater number of people. However, you shouldn’t use this multifunctional utensil in such a way because it’s not intended. We have no doubt that the surgeon and the nurses who were managing this situation made comments along these lines on a fairly regular basis.
Spork You
This whole situation feels like it should be an episode of one of those television medical dramas that are available. We are interested in learning the details behind what took place!
Here’s the Horse
When you’re going through a terrible experience, your brain doesn’t always function the way it should, and this is especially true if someone you care deeply about has been seriously injured. Therefore, this husband’s response, despite the fact that it may seem reasonable to him, is not at all consistent with logic.
Here’s The Horse
How would you like it if you were the nurse that had to take care of not only this unfortunate woman but also a horse that was tethered to a gurney in the emergency room? We probably would have felt a little overpowered by the situation.
Not Funny
It’s possible that your pal may persuade you that a particularly stupid concept is, in fact, a brilliant one. Most of the time, these petty notions aren’t harmful, but every once in a while, you find yourself in a situation like the one described in the article.
Not Funny
This gives the expression “striking the nail on the head” an entirely new meaning. If things hadn’t worked out the way they did, we probably wouldn’t have been able to laugh as hard at this silly image. It’s a good thing this situation turned out so beautifully.
Orange You Glad I Showed You That
Because some individuals take things extremely literally, you need to be very specific when you teach them how to carry out the task that you are demonstrating for them to ensure that they successfully do it. It is abundantly evident that this nurse did not know that regarding this patient, which is the reason why she ended up seeing them so quickly.
Orange You Glad I Showed You That
This is kind of sad and pretty entertaining, and thank goodness no long-term damage was caused by any of this. This nurse must be a saint because she didn’t insult his brains by calling him terms that were problematic in the first place.
Down Boy
There is no way to escape having at least one or two run-ins with the local authorities on occasion if you work in an emergency room or hospital. This is simply unavoidable. After all, criminals can get hurt too, and sometimes they have to go to the hospital to get treated before they face the consequences of their actions.
Down Boy
When we would have stated this remark to the police officer, both of us might have let out a small giggle. After all, how many law enforcement personnel would allow their dog to continue to chew on a criminal’s leg even after they had been sent to the hospital?
Exit Plan
When dealing with an ex who still has some loose ends to tie up, you have to be prepared for some fairly strange behavior on their part. When these paramedics arrived at the scene, we have little doubt that they were taken aback by the circumstances they discovered there.
Exit Plan
However, the gentleman ought to have been anticipating something! Getting through all of the questions to get to the root of the problem was probably very funny in some respects, at least after everything had already happened…
What’s This!
Simply said, some modes of transportation are inherently more hazardous than others. When you’re in a car, you’re encased in metal, which generally serves to shield you from the possibility of injury. However, when you’re on a motorcycle, anything could happen to you at any time.
What’s This!
Since we are aware that there is a significant amount of cynical humor in the field of medicine, we are certain that there were some jokes about leg-ups being told when this unfortunate individual was being treated. Even though that’s not funny at all, we’re pretty sure it happens all the time…
