Re: Old Man Dead From a Gastrointestinal Bleed
What a shame that he worked all of his life, was apparently a decent human being, and ended up this way. There, but for the "grace of God", go us all!

Re: Old Man Dead From a Gastrointestinal Bleed
Excellent detective work, I would concluded that he stepped on the laundry basket on his way to the bathroom, tripped over it and missed the toilet, shitting everything else in the bathroom. From there he slipped on the shit and fell over hit his head and died.  |

Re: Old Man Dead From a Gastrointestinal Bleed
Was the smell horrible or had it dissipated some by the time you got there? I've seen my fair share of GI bleeds being a nurse, and it's one of the nastiest smells ever!

Re: Old Man Dead From a Gastrointestinal Bleed
Great first post! I've not done one yet either .. a legit "lurker" as you perfectly put it! How very sad :( Glad you wrote this in a way that clearly shows you care about what you do (noted you're an EMT) and took notice of the circumstances surrounding his demise. I do feel bad though for if his surviving family find this post. Your wording though was very respectful  |

Re: Old Man Dead From a Gastrointestinal Bleed
Wonderfully written and honestly has given me a compassionate look at something. Maybe the guy was an asshole, maybe not. Regardless, if I were found dead l, I'd be grateful to have you write about be in this way. :] Now I'm hoping some of the EMTs that have found me unconscious and naked have had some respect in the past. |
