while on a call?
We got called to a house for a sick subject right when it started to get hot it was 80+ degrees outside. We got to the house they didnt have their a/c running and told us their brother had been staying with them but they had not seen him for 3 days and wanted us to make sure he wasnt dead. He was up the stars and down the right hallway. As soon as you got to the second step the smell hit you like a ton of bricks. It smelled like a decomposing body but somehow in the filth and nausea causing smell this man was still alive and of course had defecated all over himself just adding to the smell. Even the paramedic who had a good amount of years in was gagging. I swear that was the worst thing I have ever smelled in my life. I dont think the poor man had a shower in ages he turned the sheets on the stretcher black. I had to shampoo 4 times to remove the smell from my hair, the uniform had to be tossed I tried everything even febreeze and gain.
So whats the worst smell you experienced? Doesnt have to be off an actual pt mine just happened to be
