Disgusting fat shit patient [NSFL] Ok so I've put this as NSFL because it is truly one of the most disgusting things I've seen or dealt with as a nurse. So we have this fat woman (about 5 foot 5 and probably 120-140kg) who was brought into our ward with a broken ankle from a fall. Becauseshe was so fat (but that's just me guessing). Anyway she's huge and on contact precaution because she has VRE. (http://health.nt.gov.au/Vancomycin_Resistant_Enterococcus_VRE/index.aspx) So we have to fully gown and gloves every time we need to go into her room.  Getting to the disgusting part, this woman hadn't opened her bowels in 8 days because she kept refusing physiotherapy and wouldn't do anything. And added with all the opioid pain relief we had given her for the pain in her foot it is no wonder he was constipated. So we had given her mountains upon mountains of aperients plus a few enemas (that failed) to help. So one of the doctors had to maually disimpact this butter beast. And naturally I had to help. So the doctor removes about 1kg of shit from this woman's rectum and then it just stars to flow without stopping. For 2 days this woman has not stopped leaking shit. And the kicker; she doesn't care! Like at all. The other morning she woke up covered in shit and the bed was covered in it because and I quote "I was just so tired from being rolled and cleaned I just wanted to sleep". She slept all night in her own runny shit because she was so fat and lazy she didn't want us cleaning her. What in the ever loving fuck makes someone think that way. Oh and to top it off, she has such poorly controlled diabetes that she has diabetic neuropathy in her unbroken foot that it's just blue and purple and she can't feel anything in it. So at some point in the near future it will have to be amputated. And she's only in her early 60's
