Golden Poo

*** DON'T READ IF YOU ARE EASILY GROSSED OUT ***
Well, the first day went good-ish! It was kinda thrown off because the technologist who was training me and another new girl they hired (they hired SIX people!!!) kept treating us like brand new student who didn't know what we were doing. The only bad thing that happened was a good ol' barium enema printed out! Only this one was therapeutic, meaning she can't go and we're basically trying to get her to go #2! Gross, I know! This is by far the most disgusting thing my job entails! We have to put the enema tip up her butt for her and basically pump her colon full of contrast (dye) so we can see the outline of it on xrays. However on this lady, we must have dislodged something and she went all over the table and herself. So after the exam, we had to clean her up before we sent her upstairs. So we're rolling her to get the poo covered sheets out from underneath her and what happens to the other new girl and I? Of course we get poo on our arms! I wanted to throw up, but I managed to keep it in.

Afterwards, I was thinking about how disgusting this part of my job is and how I was sure that none of my other friends were staring at somebody's poo at their jobs. Then I realized that I was making good money (especially compared to what I used to make) and then I thought, 'for what I'm making, maybe it really isn't that bad.' That's just crazy talk! Maybe being pooped on isn't worth that money, but I can definitely ignore someone treated me like crap for that much!
