Stitch this with the most disgusting thing that's happened to you while working in a hospital. Ooh, I think every healthcare worker has one of these stories, so I'll shoot. When I was a third year medical student, I had to do a rotation in the emergency department and I had to do a 12-hour overnight shift to start things off. When I first got on that shift at 8.01 pm, I interviewed a mentally ill patient, first one of the night, and he purposely threw up all over me. So I just got to work, just showered, and had vomit all over the lower half of my body. I had to strip down outside of the patient's room and wear extra large paper scrubs the rest of the 12-hour shift. It was a lot of fun.
