Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Hard pass
Today, while working at the hospital, I had a patient with a blocked bowel. It was so bad, feces were entering into her stomach. While leaning down to talk with her, she threw up. I was both vomited and defecated on at the same time. FML
Vomit
Today, we had a patient projectile vomiting in our ambulance. I didn't know she had puked on our cot until I found it with my bare hand at the hospital. FML

Today, I was dealing with a psychiatric patient with a colonostomy bag. She got agitated and ripped the bag from her abdomen and threw it at my face. I got a bag filled with poop thrown at my face. FML

Today, a mother and son were in my office. The kid wasn't feeling well and threw up. Mom covered his mouth with her hand, creating a vomit nozzle and covering me in puke. She yelled that I deserved to be sprayed on because I was not quick enough in getting a bucket for her son. FML

Stay classy
Today, at work, I watched a man throw up in his hands, dump the contents on his plate, then eat the things it "didn't touch." I had to wash his plate. FML

Pleased to meet you
Today, I was volunteering at the hospital. This lady was calling the Nurses' Station, and I had to go see what she wanted. When I asked her what she needed, she mumbled something. As I leaned in closer to hear what she was saying, she threw up all over my face. Apparently, she was nauseous. FML

Grossed out
Today, I was helping this girl to the nurse’s office because she was so sick that she could barely walk. About halfway there, she stopped and vomited on me. My jaw was dropped in shock when she threw up on me again. A little went into my mouth. FML

Today, I had a ride along in an ambulance. Being observant, I thought it was funny that a patient had to vomit. That was until I realized they couldn't control where they had to vomit. I spent the rest of the ambulance ride holding a vomit bag in front of the woman's face. Not so funny anymore. FML
Preggo
Today, I vomited so hard into the toilet that the water splashed back into my face. I instinctually moved away only to finish puking on the floor. FML

Such a rewarding career
Today, I got projectile-vomited on while trying to administer meds to a patient. Twenty minutes later, a patient with schizophrenia threw his shitty diaper at my face. All this happened in the first hour of my 12-hour shift. I didn't bring any extra scrubs and I live an hour away from work. FML

You guys are idiots. It's not 'your job' to get puked on. Your job in this case would be to help people. Being to stupid to realize the difference must be why you guys are here posting that garbage in the first place. Now Hiring: Position to be puked on? Morons..

If it's a patient, this is your job, something you accepted and get paid to do. Stop your bitching.

How the **** is this an FML? I really dont think having to wash your hands inconveniences your life... Grow the **** up you pussy. You picked your job, and you probably make a hell of a lot more money than alot of people, stop whining and get back to work, dumbass.

You got a job. You got a pretty secure job. You got a pretty good paying job. Your job has good medical benifits. You got a job where you can live just about anywhere you want. You got a job that, with some seniority, you can work any shift you want. Your secure, good paying, good benifits and good options job has a down side. Once in a while. Boo... ******... hoooo. YDI... every time you cash your check.

Precisely. Sure, it may come along with the territory of working in the health care field, but getting vomited on sucks, regardless. I'm in school for nursing, and nowhere in my classes has anyone mentioned "Oh, and don't have ill feelings when people throw up on you. It's your job to be thrown up on." How you handle the situation is important, but you still have "the right" to be irritated that it happened, as long as you handle the situation with professionalism.
