re: For the nurses/docs, what's the craziest things you've ever seen at work?

I'm neither but I usually see things first... I've seen 3 children under 6 burned to death. Seen numerous suicides with guns. Seen a hammer through someone's skull. Probably over a hundred gunshots in the head. Seen a dick split in half. Seen a glass bottle broke off in an arse. I've seen roaches crawling out of a girls vagina.
And as recently as Thursday night I was on scene of what turned out to be my friend ejected from his truck and his brains all over the road.
At this point I'm emotionally removed from everything but kids always get me. And I didn't recognize my friend the other night. The swelling from the trauma made it impossible. (Thank God, because it would of kept me from focusing on my job, which was compressions at that moment)
I probably can go on all night but I'll stop. No body sees more disturbing things than people who work the streets. Except maybe active military war personnel.
All though my crew and I have saved people before the nurses and doctors are the real heroes.

A woman in her late 80's with the top of a hairspray can in her vagina.

Another one last night in fact. A guy who spoke zero English came in drunk. He had 7 lacerations to his face, abdomen, and both thighs. Apparently he got into it with another guy over his woman. A box cutter did the damage. Luckily his cuts to his abdomen weren't clean through to his intestines. Each one of those was over 12" long. When the doctor went to stitch and staple him he said no to lidocaine. Tough sob

I was a hospital corpsman with a marine infantry platoon in the Nam. Not even going to tell any of those stories because you won't believe them. BUT, while working a dirty surgery ward in Oakland, many years ago, we had a sailor that survived his aorta being severed. At the time he was only the 2nd person in history to do that. I believe his story was in Life magazine. The doctors did a hell of a job patching this guy up. His aorta was fine but the problem was his small intestine was leaking on the outside of his body on his stomach. He kept going into surgery to try and remedy the problem but there was always a leak because the small intestine couldn't heal. What was cool was we used placenta therapy on the wound. I wound walk over to the maternity ward a get a fresh placenta every few days and keep it in the refer in the treatment room. We would cut the placenta in the shape of the wound and bandage him up and that would keep the intestine from leaking on his stomach and keep the surrounding tissue protected. OH, forgot to tell you he was stabbed by his girlfriend's husband. I remember him getting his first liberty after he was somewhat recovered. You guessed right if you guessed he went back to see that same girlfriend. I'm guessing her husband was not at home.
You can't make stories like this up.

You say this, but I have massive, massive respect for the first responders. You guys see worse stuff than we do in the ED. We don't see the ones who don't make it to the ED, but y'all do.
