After 23 years in EMS I can deal with guts, blood and body parts.
The 4 P's skeeve me
Piss
Puke
Pus
Phlegm

Now see?? I can suction phlegm all day, hold the bucket while someone pukes, but I cannot handle poo.

When there's a "Code Brown" in the hospital......that's my cue to ---->>

The other thing that really skeeves me is Necrotizing Facitis (flesh eating bacteria). I've seen a lot of that, unfortunately. One patient we had had a perianal cyst that got necrotizing facitis in it and within a few days' time, he was minus an entire butt cheek.

The hospital is "home" to all things skeevey, both visual and...well....smells.
