I go out of my way to not smell poop, whether it be CDiff or regular poop.

Perhaps our OP does not actually transport? His other action scenario also terminates with removal by stairchair.

"What went wrong" by Eminem

Confused old betty,
Pulse is weak,
feelin' thready,
no vomit on her sweater it's soft and heavy, got no sample hx
medic's nervous but on the surface he looks calm and ready
to drop balms, but he keeps on forgetting
what the med director wrote down, the monitor grows so loud
she opens her mouth, and it smells like fruit comes pourin out
hes chokin how? everybody's jokin now
givin' glucose to a dka? you're over POW
up goes the cbg, now her gcs is 3
oh there goes the medic he choked
QA is mad and they won't give up that
easy, no
med director wont have it, medic's got his back to the ropes
should have listened to ROPE (region one protocol effort)
no more license he's broke
