Before I became an RN I worked as a patient technician. One day I had a patient that had a pilonidal cyst, that is a cyst that forms at the coccyx or the tailbone. The surgeon lanced and drained it and it was the most putrid smell I have ever smelled. It was like that strong odor when driving through an oil field. Of course after the surgeon left I was left cleaning up all the dirty rags and instruments. I don't know if thats the worst or cleaning up incointinent geri patients, espically if they have a certain bacteria called C-Diff, it make the stool smell really really bad and gives you diarrhea...

Sewage ejector pit for a 40-story hotel. Pit's twenty four feet deep, circular, about ten feet across. Pump motor burned out and had to be replaced. It's a submersible 40hp pump. Yeah, submersible, as it's mounted on the bottom. Only one way to do it and you can't shut down 900+ hotel rooms at 100% occupancy. Talk about being deep in it...

Took four of us three hours from getting the cover open to closing it up.

You guys got me beat. I'm not even going to try. Crawling around in attics full of Bat Guano and Raccon poop is nothing compared to cysts and pits of xxxx.

Do you ever step back and wonder why you didn't make that OTHER decision at some point in your life?

Sounds like a job for Mike Rowe.

I cleaned my share of toilets in the Air Force, but that's insane.

In the Air Force, we had to manually jack a 60,000 lb jet 3 ft off the ground. Then we had to hook up the hydraulic hoses and raise the landing gear for engine pressure checks at simulated altitude.

We did a battery replacement in my civilian job about 4 years ago. We replaced 240 110 lb batteries and we had to carry them down 1 flight of stairs and haul the old batteries back up. There were 5 of us.

I drove the "Short Bus" for 8 years....I saw poop, pee, vomit, blood, nasty boobies, spit, nasty penis's...whatever's plural for penis, retard fights, and that had nothing to do with driving. On top of all that good stuff I had heavy morning traffic with a bunch of screaming, fighting, pooping, peeing, fighting,..........ummmmm.....mentally challenged kids in the back....even though I say "kids" most of them were my age, but with the mental ability of a three year old.

When I was a n00b on the ship, they sent me to the **** cleaning shop. Well, just so happens that everybody in the Navy is a damn retard, and enjoys flushing quarters and underwear down the toilets. So, I had to crawl through the **** pipes until I found what was blocking it. Once I found it, I had to un-block it. Yeah. Then the **** came rushing at my face. Good news is, I was wearing a completely air tight suit with an SCBA on my back. But I could definitely still smell that ****.

I'd have to say helping my surgeon lance a peri-rectal cyst... bleh.. that was horrible...

C-diff is pretty bad.. but so is gangrene nothing like green and black rotting flesh..

First day on the job I had to move an Expedition that someone had expired in, and not in a normal way. About 70 % of his head was still all over the back cargo area, including the seats. I was just happy I didn't have to clean it.

Sounds like a scene right out of Pulp Fiction..

Sewer plant water treatment tank cleaner. Put on a rubber glove climb into the seperation trouph and scrub it with a 6" wire brush. making shure that no rag condoms pads and other floaties got into the trouph. Pick off the ones that got by the skimmers and put them in a bucket and carry them down to the dumpster when done. After that climb down 40' into the bottom of the incomming sewer building and clean the first stage screen in front of the grinder. Mostly by hand because it didnt work to good useing a pitch fork. All The time watching out for snakes that come thru the system. All in the 95* heat of Tampa Fla.
