While in nursing school I was checking residual (pulling the stomach contents out to see how much is in there.) I got a large plunger full of stomach contents plus air in a syringe. To fully check how much was in my syringe I held it up to push out the excess air. During this process the plunger stuck so I had to push really hard… well sure enough once I unstuck I shot all the stomach contents into the air! It covered me, the patient, the patient’s mom sitting by the bedside, and even on the ceiling. When the mom asked what that was covering us I didn’t have the nerve to tell her the truth so I said it was just some medicine.
