So in what parallel universe did it become socially acceptable for patients to shit themselves out of protest?

Isn't it quite cold up there? Maybe he was just trying to keep warm.

Pretty much since we de-institutionalized the lunatics, I think.

That was a huge mistake.

Jump on their bed and wipe their ass with an angle grinder, all the time shouting "What medicines do not heal, the lance will; what the lance does not heal, fire will!!!"

Working in behavioral health I’ve had them pee and poop on themselves, fake seizures, threaten to assault people, ACTUALLY assault people, and use just about every other tactic of stupidity in order to get what they want. It’s only getting worse with the entitled generation.

DAMN! WTF is wrong with these "patients"? Assholes!

I like dropping a good load, but hate shitting myself.

What was he/she protesting?

I would let them wallow in their own shit, until it was a dry crust on them. Shit in protest, I won’t clean in protest.

Lock 'em in a closet with no ventilation.

The old shit yourself protest...popular with imbeciles and alcoholics.

Coffee.

"I want coffee!"

"I'm sorry I cannot give you any coffee right now."

"Yes, you can, you're lying!"

"You're right I can but, you're septic, your heart rate is above 130 and your blood pressure is circling the drain, I'm not adding caffeine to that mix."

"I'm a grown woman, I can put whatever I want in my body!"

"Including meth."

"Fuck you! I just shit myself!"

"I'll disconnect your IV for a few minutes so you can clean yourself. There's a package of wet wipes on the counter and a trashcan in the corner."

ER staff get to be in on all the fun . Just be happy she didn't eat it, smear it all over herself, then fight with you. That's what our last one did. And the one before that was far worse, but I won't go into that on here...it wouldn't be polite.

I'm with BurtonRW on institutionalization. Not all crazy people need locked up, but there are plenty of them that do...and far too many of them that do aren't.

I would think a few CC's of Haldol would do the trick, eh?

Not what you signed up for, is it?

I'm always polite to medical personnel. They have too many things they can stick me with or drugs they can give me. Similarly, I'm polite to my hair stylist because he or she is always holding scissors close to my face.

We shall remember that for the future decisions we make.

Run their butt out to the decon room and hose them down. Hand them one of those dinky towels from housekeeping. Tell them they can come back in when the are dry. There are the gown and flip flops. Help yourself.

Since EMTALA came and prevented hospitals from just humming them out the door onto their faces.
