Today, I once again had to tell one of my elderly patients not to grope me. He responded by throwing his bedpan at me. It was full. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at work at my local hospital. I went to the toilet to empty my bladder; the door was half open so I assumed it was empty. Upon opening the door, I was greeted with a half naked old man, who then yelled at me and violently shat himself, all over the walls and floor. FML
Today, my violent geriatric patient was trying to escape the facility. When I intervened, she poked my belly then told me I was squishy and that I might explode. FML
Today, my patient knocked my glasses off as I assisted him in the shower. We both looked in terror as they fell into his unflushed toilet. This patient was isolated due to a contagious infection. 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, I was in the ER where I work as a registrar. A patient received a plastic urinal to use in his room. Most patients throw them away when they leave. He, however, decided to take it with him, and as he checked out, put it on the registration counter. Two feet from my face. It was used. FML
Today, I visited my Aunt in hospital. Another patient got jealous, so she threw a tantrum. She threw things at us, pulled her drip out, threw herself to the floor, screamed, pounded the floor with her fists and pissed herself. My aunt is still waiting for a new room, and the staff blame me. FML
Today, I'm taking care of my bedridden, 94-year-old grandma. She woke me up at 6 a.m. only to tell me her UTI is still there. Later, she made me interrupt my 15-minute-dinner a total of 4 times because she wanted things like "more lotion in her buttcrack." FML
Today, I held a container while a patient tried to throw up in it. She missed. FML
Today, while very sick, throwing up in a bucket beside my bed, my dad came in pushed my face into the bucket. For a laugh, apparently. FML
Today, in a hardware store, I had to physically restrain my senile grandpa from trying to take a crap in one of the display toilets. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The fact he needs a bedpan shows that he's too old to grope anything

At first I read it as parents instead of patients. I was like what the heck?

Guess you could say you're pissed off. That what he did was basically ******** on your life.

And this is probably why the elderly are abused in nursing homes. All you hear on the news is "nurse hit an elderly patient while omitting the part where he tried to rip her shirt off or threw a full bedpan at her."

Wow that must be horrible and just disgusting. I bet it takes a lot of patience to be in that field of work. I hope that doesn't occur often because that would be horrible to experience.

Oh you poor thing. I feel for you. You have to contend with dirty old men and pee. Not a good combination.

being a CNA definitely is not an easy job but it takes a special kind of person to do that. you're gonna complain because someone with dementia did something out of the ordinary? happens every day in nursing homes. obviously you are in the wrong profession.

Obviously op knows that stuff like this happens everyday. That doesn't mean she can't vent her frustrations. I work in a nursing home as a cna and it can get extremely frustrating sometimes. You gotta blow off steam somehow. Op chose FML to vent.
