A 37 year old women came in with abdominal pain and fever. Whenever a female comes in with this complaint we have to do a "female exam" to make sure there isn't a vaginal problem that could be causing this. Sure enough, her cervix was tender and she had a discharge. After sending some labs....it came back as Trich. I informed the patient of her diagnosis and her need of antibiotics. She asked is there anyway to "make her better without getting rid of the discharge?" Puzzled....I told her no and asked her why. She replied "Because my husband really likes the way it tastes and has been spending a lot of time down there."
I almost threw up.

Great story, anyway.
Hee verification....."terse"
NO!! That's just wrong - so very wrong! *shudder*
YUCK YUCK YUCK!!!!

Gross!!! EWWWW!!!! I hope that he wouldn't like it so much if he knew what he was eating!!
Now that there is Klass with a capital K.
Of course, the first thought that popped into my head was whether or not he might get GI signs from it. I suppose vag-to-intestine colonization might be a bit of a stretch, but I once found poultry-specific trichomonads causing chronic diarrhea in a cat being fed raw chicken.
I think I just threw up in my mouth...
This was absolutely disgusting!! I don't know how you kept from throwing up!!!
Dude.
BTW - that guy needs a little sit-down, man-to-man chat....
Oh that is so nasty!!!! I think her husband needs a psych eval.
glad mejis warned me not to eat b4 i read this lol gross!
That made me shudder involuntarily. Ew.
I limit my blog reading to lunch or snack breaks.
Thanks a lot.
Apparently, Trich's are not for kids!
Bad taste, I know. I just couldn't resist.
ArrggghNNNNN
Okay... she HAD to be trying to get a reaction out of you..like the joke's on you kind of thing... or she was just messing with your head.
Seriously!
*barf*
I need a Hello Kitty chaser now.
Just when I truly thought after all these years I had heard absolutely everything...there are still surprises.
I've heard a lot of disgusting things. That's got to be in the top five, maybe even top three. Blech.
Okay, wait..we may be over reacting here. This guy may be on to something, a new flavor, etc. I demand to get the opinion of Andrew Simmern before I pass judgement.....burf..

"Trichs are not for kids.."

Apparently, trich was his treat.
You know you're an ED nurse when...
You sit here on night shift during a break, eating noodles with cream sauce, read this, and go right on munching away.
Just another wild story from the ED
A.
Ewwww! Did anybody explain to her that this was an STI? Might change her outlook of her husband if she knew she was being faithful....but who knows!
That's just nasty nasty nasty! Who possesses that kind of "palate"
Sick!
