Yeah, nothing sexy about this job, especially being a resident. You end up getting the brunt of all the fluids. Yeah, but one of those has got to be better than smelling vomit all day after the incident anyway. 

That’s why you gotta get an intern to do all the dirty work, dude. I mean, you’re still gonna get dirty on the job once in a while, but getting the interns do the scut work is the whole point.

Guess it’s all part of the job though. The things we put up with so we can save lives. That or maybe you could try some like scented lotion or something. I’m sure one of the nurses has some you could use.

Yup, all part of the job. Getting someone else’s body fluids all over you-- and not the sexy kind. --Hm, I’ll ask around. I’ll probably end up smelling like Cherry Blossom or Midnight Sun or some other scent like that.

It’s better that it’s a kid than an adult I think. Grown ass people vomiting on me has to be the least favorite part of this job. Yeah, I’m thinking of learning by example. You’re probably right. It feel like the scent is just stuck in your nostrils and you can smell it all day.

“Definitely. I’ll take kids throwing up and shitting on me any day over some old fucker doing it. --Exactly. Maybe I should hang an air freshener off my beard.”

“Yeah, that sounds gross, making me want to go shave what little is growing on my face right about now just in case. Maybe you need to take a full on shower.”

“Extremely gross, but the poor guy couldn’t help it. You might wanna do that, it’s a lot more trouble than you’d think. --I did take a shower, but I don’t know, it might just be me thinking I smell it still.”

“Yet another reason I am glad I don’t grow out my beard. You never know what the day is going to throw at you.”

“I’ve thought about cutting it off, but it’s part of my look, y’know? Besides, the kids like it. And, you didn’t hear this from me, but so do the kid’s moms. If you catch my drift.”

[atticuspresleymd]

“Little dude I was assessing in the ER decided to blow chunks all over the place, so if you smell something rank, it’s me. Tried cleaning the stench off me, but I’m pretty sure he got some in my beard.”
