Spring in the ER brings a day when the ER smells like a pig pen. Literally. Shit is running off of carts and on to the floor.
Speaking of poop, why does anyone ever come into the ER with constipation? ATTENTION ALL CITIZENS OF THE US:
*****CONSTIPATION IS NOT AN EMERGENCY. I REPEAT. CONSTIPATION IS NOT AN EMERGENCY. THAT IS ALL. GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.*****
If you come into the ER with constipation, you will be viewed as the frickin' idiot that you are. I don't care if you are 102, the fact that you haven't had a bowel movement in 3 days is not an emergency. While we're at it, why is it that old people are obsessed with having bowel movements? Its like if they don't have a daily poop, its a crisis...
By the way, I don't believe you when you say you haven't crapped in 2 weeks. Don't believe you. Sorry. You wouldn't be able to eat, drink. Go home.
Attention all ER docs: IF YOU ORDER AN ENEMA, ESPESCIALLY A TAP WATER ENEMA, YOU WILL BECOME A HATED FIGURE. THAT IS ALL. GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.
When I see a constipation coming my way, I run for the med room, staff lounge, bathroom, pop machine, develop a sudden interest in my patients personal life.
Don't come to the ER for constipation. The ER staff will hate you. And while I am at it, don't bring in granny or grandpa either. Have you ever tried to give an enema to an 85 year old? Its a recipe for diaster for all concerned. Now we hate you and your whole family.

I had one come in NOT constipated, having had a perfectly normal BM, but said "Compared to what I eat, not enough is coming out." *facepalm*
No shit!
Ok that's a little excessive she's not talking about that kind of situation! Yes of course someone can die from it but there are people that come to the ER that its just ridiculous how not a problem it is really go home drink some prune juice save the healthcare system your $1000 if not more ER visit.
I actually did have a pregnant patient who did not have a BM for 3 weeks- the resident checked her and thought she was complete - I checked and said, uh that's not a head it is stool!!!! Talk about an explosive night....
I totally had a day just like that this week! my sympathies to you!
just to play devil's advocate...I definitely went two weeks without pooping a few times when I was younger. my 'rents most definitely never took me to the ER for it, though!
There are fetish clubs where you can get an enema from somebody who enjoys giving them. Perhaps your facility could contract with one of them.
Clearly it is a condition as many and if you can finish in an emergency room
I think saying that dr's will hate you for coming in is so trashy and bs!! You dr's get over paid for taking blood, and giving suggestions so why would it matter wat people come in for your getting paid either way!! I agree that its an emergency room but shit happens at all times of the day and your their for the people! It disgusts me that people like you who harshly judge those you are in care of even work at such a place, grow up and do your job or find a new profession!
I totally agree. You need to find another profession as soon as possible as you are not cut out to be a nurse. I had to go to the ER because of an impaction due to taking Vicodin. I had not had a bowel movement in over 5 days and had tried everything. I was in extreme pain. It was a last resort to go to the ER and embarressing also. Thank goodness I didn't have you for a nurse. I pity your patients who have to have you take care of them because it's obvious you have no empathy or kindness. You seriously need to leave the nursing profession. You give it a bad name. If I were you I would be ashamed of the way you think about people. Get into a profession where you don't have to deal with people. That would be best because I know that not many people would want you as their nurse
Actually, I'd be fine with having this blog-writer for a nurse. I do not need to have a pleasant nurse. Nor do I need a church lady, or a mama type. I can't stand those sweetness and light women, actually. I'd rather have a smart Nurse Nobullshit, for sure, LoL! Nobody has to fawn all over me when I go in. Just be competent, be factual, and give adequate and appropriate medical treatment. Oh, and if you have nothing nice to say, definitely hide out in my room and let's dish the dirt. lolololololol
I was on medicaid spenddown. This means I didnt have insurance and my income was to high to normally get on medicaid. When they put you on spenddown it means you must have 1000+ in medical bills before they will give you insurance. What the best way to do that is go to the er. Then they will pay most of the bill for you. I lost my job & had 2 do what I had to. My unemployment benefits made me over the income limit.
of course like your web site but you have to check the spelling
on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with
spelling problems and I to find it very bothersome to tell the
reality then again I'll surely come again again.

Hey. I had a tonsillectomy and was on pain meds the last 10 days. Haven't pooped once. Hurts like hell. Truth.
I have abdominal adhesions and get obstructed often .....which is life threatening! If you were any kind of nurse at all, you would know that. And yes, people can go weeks without going.
