I know about alcohol showering. When I used to cut trees, I got sent to cut down a standing dead royal palm. What most people don't understand is that when a palm tree dies from an infected or damaged crown (the green bit the leaves come out of up top) it doesn't just dry out like a regular tree. Nope, a palm tree is basically like a giant lifestraw. It's full of soft pulp and straw-like fibers surrounded by a tough outer shell. This means that when the top dies and falls off the tree roots from the inside out and fills with GALLONS of water mixed with rotten plant matter. Not only that but birds love to use the fluffy dried out bits left up top and the standing trunk to make nests or use as lookout posts to watch for prey. While they do this they use the toilet into the rotting tree. Not to mention the flies and roaches that come to feast on the thing. This one was MUCH worse than most others. It had been dead for over a year and was about 40ft tall so it felt completely solid for the first 10 feet. that means there was a 25ft column of rotten tree water, bird shit, dead lizards, magots, and to top it all off... An entire family of dead ducks (mother and 8 babies) as well as a dead cat, two adult racoons, and at least 5 dead squirrels. So, I'm thinking it was a pretty freshly dead tree and expected maybe some nasty rotten plant juice so I just decide to drop it from the ground rather than go up in the truck and piece it down. Big mistake. I made the horizontal cut for the notch and got the expected brown water flow, which was pretty stinky but not horrible. Then I made the face cut... As soon as the face cut was done HUNDREDS OF GALLONS OF ROTTEN PLANT MATTER AND A FULL RACCOON SKELETON CAME GUSHING OUT OF THE TREE. The tree also started to kinda collapse into its self since the pressure was being released. In a hurry I yelled "headache" (my version of "timber") and made the back cut, dropped my saw, and tried to run as far as possible before the tree hit the floor. When it hit, there was a literal explosion of carcasses, flies, and what I can only describe as "nope juice". I've done crime scene cleanup jobs where someone was dead for a month before the landlord found them, and that smelled like a baby fart compared to that tree. I was lucky enough to know to wear a raincoat just in case I got some rotten tree juice on me but that smell was soaked into my boots and socks (which I threw into the debris pile before we left) as well as my hair and skin. It took me about 2 gallons of isopropyl over the course of 2 days to get the smell off my skin enough for me to not notice it anymore and another week of regular showers before I stopped having to explain to customers why they could smell a dead body on me. Fun times.

4566Iggy I’m sorry to break the immersion in all but thats not how humans work. This is way too vastly detailed and plays out more like a book than an actual scenario. Especially in a situation like this where you’re last focus would be on the little details like who leaves a room in what order and what others are doing, etc. This is written like a script. Nothing about it seems humanly genuine. The dudes and excellent story teller and could have a promising career in writing novels ill give him that. This story is completely fake there’s probably a little truth thrown in there like all good believable fake stories do. (like he probably does work in the medical field). Lots of stories on Reddit that are faked tend to be the best written and most detailed ones but also turn out to be the most popular ones. But imagine if humans did operate like this, legal cases would be open and shut so fast because people could recount everything that happened in a crime or a legal scenario so detailed there would be no room for someone to lie.

I'm a nurse and I always keep a bottle of peppermint essential oil in my backpack. The worst smell I've ever experienced was a patient who had bowel cancer so he required a colostomy where they take your intestines and divert them to your abdomen and your feces comes out in a bag that you stick on your skin. After he got the ostomy placed he developed a tumor on his stoma (essentially the hole that the feces comes out of) and this thing was massive, like larger than a softball. The stoma still worked and it would be too risky for him to go into surgery and get another in a different spot because of the massive tumor, so we just put his ostomy bags over it and used it as normal. One thing about tumors that not a lot of people know is that they often smell like death, as in they smell a lot like a carcass. So this guy has a massive tumor that is essentially marinating the output of his ostomy (which smells worse than poop) and we have to keep opening it to drain the feces and gas or else it will pop. The entire hallway reeked of that smell and draining it was one of the most horrid things I've ever had to do. I vomited multiple times on the shifts I was taking care of him and I'm nauseous now just thinking about the smell. I gave him my bottle of peppermint oil since he didn't have a lot of money and stocked up on 2 bottles in case I ran into this problem again. Many times I would come on my shift and his bag was full because the previous nurse wouldn't have the stomach to drain it so I would always empty it at the beginning and end of my shift because I worried that the next nurse would avoid it and it would pop, even though it would make me vomit every time. I feel sorry for him because he was incredibly nice and once told me "You know how when you're around a smell for a long time you get used to it and don't smell it anymore? That doesn't happen with this." And I agree, that's one of those smells that will be forever etched into my memory.

Ok to put the smell in prospective: I work in a microbiology lab in a large urban hospital and we often get samples from the OR so the doctors can diagnose and treat infections. I have had the misfortune of getting the "juice" from a perirectal abscess on multiple occasions, usually it's collected in an industrial metal screwtop container and triple bagged. The OR tries their best to clean the sample/each layer with bleach the best they can but the smell still permeates through the bags. It's a weird mix of death, concentrated ass, and shit. To add insult to injury my coworker who had the displeasure of preparing the sample described it as "chunky yoohoo". The I can't imagine what being in a whole fucking room of the stuff would be like dear god.

There was pus pouring out and it stank so bad they said they could taste it. I was literally dying so I had to have emergency surgery to have it amputated above the knee or it would kill me. There was no way to fix the hole anyway so I had pretty much already accepted I would lose my leg.

there are even lawyers/'doctors' who specialise in diagnosing 'rare medical conditions' in infants such as 'bruise-like' inflammations and 'inexplicable' broken bones to clear the parents of guilt. It's specifically for wealthy and apparently stable families where such abuse would not be expected. maybe in some cases bruise like conditions *are* mistakenly labelled as signs of child abuse but these 'experts' tend to claim that a huge umbrella of 'symptoms' (all otherwise evidence of abuse) fall under the same condition, which they happen to be one of the only doctors who is willing to diagnose because of political correctness and hysteria. If the parents were poor or the child old enough to speak, they probably faced consequences, otherwise they could well have got off scot free.

Actually, it's dangerous to operate in a warm room. OR's are kept cold to prevent the growth of bacteria. I worked in an OR and when the AC wasn't working properly in a suite, we wouldn't use that suite for that purpose until the AC was fixed. The doctor was most likely concerned for the safety of the patient. That being said, if it was a life and death situation, the temperature probably should have been disregarded.

[@MrPsychopyro]

I have been covered in something similar. My father is a veterinary, and I would go on trips to farms. we got a call with an overdue pregnancy of 3 days. So we went and after the standard check we found that it was a uterine intorsion or the uterus has twisted around itself due to gas or the calf moving. Most of the time we tell the farmer to kill the cow because by day three the fluid and calf have started to rot. Untwisting the uterus would put the cow into toxic shock and kill the animal and ruin the meat. If you kill the cow first you can remove the uterus and save the meat. However, after cutting a small hole in the side of the cow the looking at the uterus with a laparoscope, we found the uterus in good standing. so we untwisted it, this entails multiple people putting their hand in the anus and pushing the uterus around (pretty normal for veterinarian practice). As soon as we got the uterus around the torrent of placental juice and dissolved calf covered my dad and me from head to toe, gallons of fluid, all smelling like a few day old meats and cum. we wear coveralls for this type of stuff and got the half dissolved calf out. took an hour or so of us just soaked in this fluid. but the farmer let us take showers when we were done and the cow lived. But trust me when I say large animal veterinary see some weird shit. I have seen inside out cows born alive, cows born with six legs. cows with massive rotten abscesses with maggots living in them. that's just the tip of the iceberg.

My family are dairy farmers, and while I don’t have any gross stories, my dad was deeply affected by one incident. A calf had gotten lost and my dad had to find and carry it back. Apparently the thing had been rolling in poison ivy, because by the time he was done my dad had a farmer’s tan made of rash. This was over 30 years ago, and to this day dad flips his shit if there was even a chance of me having touched poison ivy, and I don’t even get it much. I just remembered, I do have one gross story I’ve been told. My grandfather was hauling cows to a fair when someone in a convertible passed the trailer very slowly. One cow decided that as good a time as any and took a massive piss right in the back seat of that convertible. Cows aren’t malicious, but they are so stupid that they will make your life as difficult as possible out of shear ignorance.

[@TwighlightLugia]

My mom has raised goats forever, basically as long as she's been moved out from her parents. One night, when I was about 16, the currently-pregnant goat had been wailing and unable to move trying to deliver the kid. My mom and my stepdad march out there, and eventually call me to come out and assist. Turns out, she had twins. Both were born dead, or maybe one was born alive and died later from the trauma, fuzzy on the details. The relevant part is that one was dead, still inside the mom, and its head was stuck. The three of us, in a ramshackle barn full of hay and blood and shit tried for some 30-odd minutes, unsuccessfully attempting to pull the stillborn from the mother. We ended up having to essentially decapitate the stillborn (used a utility knife to remove its head) to actually get the kid out of her. Miraculously, the mom lived after all that. I wouldn't say I'm traumatized by it or anything, but I do still wince thinking about it. That wasn't a fun night.

A kid in my sons 1st grade class last year was in a horrific accident. He had an internal decapitation. His skull was separated from his spine. His skin didn’t tear but he was fully decapitated. He was back in class 3 months after the accident. Other then the loss of his right eye he is 100% healed. It’s amazing to see this kid’s resilience. He is an inspiration to everyone. He takes it all in stride and never complained when he couldn’t go out for recess. My son and some of the other boys in his class actually decided to stay in for recess so they could play with that boy so he wouldn’t be alone. It was a proud dad moment for me when his teacher told me what he and the boys were doing for that boy. Outdoor recess is their favorite part of the day. For 1st grade boys to sacrifice their fun to make his day better is so heartwarming to me. They did this for 2 months till he was cleared for outdoor recess.

We were teaming up with a manufacturer of biopsy equipment for this new probe. I was spending a day at the biopsy equipment manufacturer's offices to learn about their gear. The guy training us asked if we wanted to see the breasts that they use to test their equipment. We said sure. I was expecting silicon shaped breasts with fake cysts and tumors in them. We go to another room and he opens up a freezer. It is stacked, bottom to top, with real frozen breasts that are in Ziploc bags. I held one while it was still in the bag. It was pretty messed up.

[@TanjoGalbi]

"A child covered with cigarette burns that his parent swore was a skin condition", I have actually suffered from such a skin condition in my childhood! I had a rare disease in my legs, sorry I can not remember the name of it because I was 6 or 7 at the time and I am now in my 50's. My mother might still remember the disease but she is getting rather forgetful in her old age now so I would not count on that! I still remember how it was discovered on me though: One day my mother decided to go on a shopping trip to a big town but we did not own a car so we went by train. My brother and I loved train rides and would normally run up and down the carriage but on this day I was quiet and sat still for the journey. During the long walk around the town looking in shops I started to complain of cramp in one of my legs. My mother dismissed it as one of those things a bored child will do to get the boring shopping trip over with. By the time we got back on the train to return home I was limping and my mother was getting angry with me for faking it. Again I sat still during the return train ride sobbing from the pain in my legs. When we got off the train the other leg was now cramping instead of the first one which convinced my mother that I was faking it for sure. Instead of going home she took us to her friend's house across the street and again instead of playing out in the back yard with her daughter and my brother I sat on the settee watching TV while my mother and her friend gossiped. After a couple of hours my mother decided it was time to return home but when I went to stand up my legs collapsed beneath me sending me to the floor. My mother again got angry with me for playing around but her friend, who was also trained as a nurse, spotted that I was not faking it and lifted me up to carry me across the street. When we got to our house I was sat on our settee and my mother's friend rolled up one of my trouser legs. They were shocked to see red marks all over my leg that they described as looking like someone had used a cigarette to make them. They checked the other leg and the same marks were there. An ambulance was called and I spent a few weeks recuperating in the children's ward of the hospital. So you see, there are skin conditions and diseases that can produce burn like marks that could be mistaken for cigarette burns. If my mother's friend had not been witness to the discovery then who knows if the authorities would have been called on my mother with suspicions of abuse, even for the late 70's that kind of abuse would have been cause to take a child away. In ways I wish they had though as I suffered from mental abuse for most of my childhood which has caused me issues throughout my adulthood that I am still dealing with today.

My dad was ER and my mom was surgical, and I can confirm this kind of thing def happens.

Another patient bit the doctor and ran out naked into the woods behind the hospital in the middle of a blizzard and required a manhunt to find her before she would have froze. There was a teenage girl who came in repeatedly with severe esophageal burns vomiting blood bc she was suicidal and drinking drain cleaner, but her parents basically had an attitude of ‘uhg, she’s embarrassing us again’ instead of being worried about her. They had an outbreak of C. Difficile that lead to what was referred to as a “ward wide case of deadly poop explosions”. There was a patient who hid *inside* the ceiling bc he didn’t want to leave. And more people than I’d like to mention coming in with huuuuuge necrotic, gangrenous, or infested wounds that they waited to bring in until they’d turned into a fucking horror show. My dad said the grossest thing for him was when he had a 500lb woman who’d lost a SANDWICH in one of her fat rolls that’d rotted, attracted insects that burrowed into her skin, and then infected the wounds from the insects so she not only stank like death and had flesh that literally fell off when it was touched but also caused a literal SWARM when they started cleaning the wound. But both my parents said by far the worst thing to deal with was the emotional toll; my dad’s worst day was when he had a long term elderly patient code during his shift and he suddenly had someone he’d known for months who wasn’t responding to chest compressions but was so delicate that his ribs broke. Everyone told my dad it wasn’t his fault and that he was gone long before cpr started but it always haunted him. My moms worst day was when she delivered a baby that nobody knew was gonna be a harlequin fetus until it was out.

@@wannabehistorian371 it is one of the worst birth defects I’ve ever seen. You don’t wanna look it up, but it’s the reason people in ye olden days had stories about women giving birth to demons. Babies with harlequin syndrome grow extremely thick, tough, inflexible skin that looks stark white and cracks all over their bodies exposing raw red flesh underneath. They also usually have bright red bulging eyes that are blind and deformations about the mouth, nose, eyes, and ears making them hard to even recognize as human babies. There have been a few rare cases of survival from it but it’s nearly always fatal, and the babies that survive birth are always in a lot of pain until they die, unable to see or hear and with every touch basically on exposed muscle. And it’s very hard to test for during pregnancy since it’s a skin thing that doesn’t show up well on imaging so most of the time neither the mother or the doctors know a baby is going to be a harlequin til birth, which can be a super traumatic surprise, especially if you’re unaware that this birth defect even exists

[@wannabehistorian371]

@@charlottemartyr Oh god that’s horrible. I can only imagine how traumatic that was for the mother. Though, I looked it up on Wikipedia, and have found a 32 year old who had the condition. So apparently it can be survived?

[@theotherther1]

@@wannabehistorian371 Yes, but it comes with serious health issues. All the extra skin has to be painfully scraped off each day, the victims have to take huge amounts of protein to compensate for the skin growth, and it often leads to deformities of the hands and feet. An unexpected harlequin fetus is a fate I wouldn't wish on any parent. That poor woman.

Nobody is talking about how a 500-pound fat person because a walking hive. I feel like that's something that should be mentioned, that shit sounds STRAIGHT out of Resident Evil (which, did feature a non-fat lady who was a walking hive.)

Why would you even inject drugs into your taint? Like okay fine, you have an addiction, but that's weird even for addicts I'm pretty sure.

I know that some people inject between their toes to hide marks from syringes, so I´m guessing it´s an alternative to that maybe?

[@lordhirudo5311]

Well, if you’re constantly shoving needles into your veins, it’s going to build up scar tissue, and eventually that blocks off the vein. Happens a lot to heroin users. They end up having to be creative with it. Nastiest one I’ve heard of (besides this one, of course) is shooting into the soft tissue under their eyes.

The second I heard and saw "perirectal abcess" I knew it was gonna be real bad because I had one and a perirectal fistula for 4 years now, but it seems that it will be done in about a month. Anyway it's a really fucked condition and the stuff that comes out can smell real bad, and it is hell on earth to both have and treat. The pus is basically a mix of poop, infection and dead tissue, specially in the beginning. So I've seen that "maple like fluid" come out of me but usually handled by a bandage, and nowhere near exorcist throw up level. But yeah I feel bad for the lady and everyone involved

[@Macachee]

Why do you feel bad for her? She did it to herself by injecting heroin into her taint like an idiot!

[@TheBfutgreg]

@@Macachee Not all addicts are deserving of ridicule...obviously she's an idiot by most measures but addiction is not a simple thing, certain groups are more likely to succumb than others, she's a victim like most others

[@Macachee]

@@TheBfutgreg I understand that but… in the taint??? She chose to inject it into her taint instead of…anywhere else! Wtf?!

[@TheBfutgreg]

@@Macachee I assume it's because she ran out of decent places to inject...plus when you're dope-deprived you can do some fucked up shit to get your fix, including that....not to mention she was heavily obese so maybe that was in a round about way (no pun intended) one of the better places to inject, I assume her arms were all fucked up like Jared Leto in Requiem for a Dream or something

[@InvaderGIR98]

I feel so sorry for that lady. Imagine how far past the addiction event horizon you have to be to do that to yourself. If she's still alive I hope she's getting the help she needs

The grossest thing I've ever done is carry a amputated leg, well half a leg (below the knee) including the foot, after being removed from a morbidly obese diabetic. It was in the correct biohazard/specimen bag of course, but I had to carry down 3 floors and across the hospital....it was extremely heavy. *When I was in college I worked in a hospital lab and frequently had to pickup specimens from the OR and bring them to pathology. Saw and did some pretty cool stuff.

I had a perianal abscess (pretty sure it's basically the same thing) that I had to have surgery on. But, I wasn't shooting drugs into the area and didn't ignore it for a long time. When the doctor told me what exactly it was and what the surgery would be like, I felt bad for the surgeon who would have to cut my ass open and drain the puss, shit, and blood out of it. But, after hearing about this case, it sounds like my surgery was a walk in the park in comparison.

[@forickgrimaldus8301]

Nah its actually normal for most hospitals, the only thing abnormal in this is the Volume of pus and dead tissue but other than that the procedure is very mundane.

[@skankmcgank]

I had one. Almost died from blood poisoning, worst thing I've ever been through in my life. I thought it was a hemorrhoid until I had a 104 fever

[@fcnl]

@@skankmcgank haha, I also thought mine was a hemorrhoid! Luckily (I guess) mine was in a position that caused me too much pain to go on for very long before I went the the ER.

The worst thing is when this person goes to have a shower again later, that smell will be in their nose. And its gonna hit them again. Because scent sticks to the inside of your nose and you get used to it after youve left the source of the smell. When you have a hot shower though, it comes back full-force. I do autopsies and when i did my first severely decomp autopsy, the other staff forgot to tell me when i have a shower at home, the smell will suddenly hit me again. I almost fell over in the shower when it hit me like a truck.
