Turned out to be one of our Behavioral Health guests sitting bare-ass naked right on the floor in the main hallway.

No hugs and kisses, no saying hi to my doggies, no touching my mouth or nose or eyes. I've seen what hospital people do and it is FOUL. FOUL I SAY. I told you the story about the resident who licked baby-vomit before.<br /><br />I had norovirus on a camping trip a couple of years ago. It was memorable. There was a brief period of time where I thought I might actually die of pooping. And nothing is better than having to throw up while you're pooping. IN THE GODDAMNED WOODS, miles from civilization, with half the people on your in-laws' huge family camping trip pooping and throwing up all around you. This is why I will never go on a cruise ship.<br /><br />Better safe than sorry, is what I'm saying. If I get into med school, I will be joining you in the ranks of the paranoid. <br /><br />--krisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202241003290273966.post-40943653671365880172012-05-30T14:33:19.071-07:002012-05-30T14:33:19.071-07:00I recently acquired norovirus from the hospital I ...I recently acquired norovirus from the hospital I work in... and learned my lesson, but not after I caught the flu two weeks later (I did get the vaccine, but lo and behold, hanging out in a hospital I was exposed to a strain that I was not vaccinated against).
