Oh, there you are!

13 June 2008

Vomit.

So what's the biggest, measurable one you've ever witnessed?

None of those various sized containers that they seem to keep to show you (sometimes it is useful to have a look at the contents, but most times it's not).

I'm asking about witnessed by you, into something that can quantify how much.

Further to that, I also limit it to, non-intoxicated persons irrespective of whether or not they have consumed garlic prawns.

Just an ordinary Joe or Jill having a barf!

1200mls plus, that we caught.

One whole vomit bag plus nearly a quarter of the next, delivered by what appeared to be the same technology used to refill a V8 Supercar (F1 or Indy car if your outside of Australia) in less than six seconds.

The nearest thing I've seen to this is Mr Creosote from Monty Python's The meaning of Life. This was also performed while pushing the patient into the department with staff nervously watching on in case we stopped at a room or cubicle that they were nursing at.

The look of satisfaction on the patients face after that was got rid of was also a delight. Most likely food poisoning but I insisted that they stay and have a complete check up after they had told me one minute out from hospital about the proximal nocturnal dysponea and heavy chest pain that had awoken them that morning.

The 'cheese and kisses' is in bed already so I better go.

Be careful out there and I'll see you at the Big One.
