Alright so this happened about.. 4 years ago or so now. just remember it.
So the hospital i initally worked at was a teaching hospital, consequently we had students for.. well basically EVERYTHING you can think of (nurses in training, docs in training, techs, as in your's truly, xray tech, in training etc.)
Anyways so this is the very FIRST day for a new batch of students in the xray dept.
so I was just going through the procedures we do etc. and getting them to go call patients in from the waiting room, getting them comfortable w/how we worked in the dept etc.
one of the stuents comes up and tells me that 'the women over there shit herself' (I think she used a little more professional wording but whatever the point is i got told someone shit herself)
so i look over to where she's pointing and i see an elderly lady in a stretcher and beside her sitting in one of our waiting room chairs a middle aged women (say 45ish yrs old). so im thinking 'ok. the elderly women did it' so ok. that sucks right but she's old, maybe she can't help it and it's embaressing as hell for her im sure. so me and another tech (not the students cuz they dont need to deal w/this on their first day of hands on experience) go over and ask if there's a problem.
the women sitting on the chair (must have been stretcher ladys daughter or something) says no nothigns wrong..
so we get closer and realize. the woman on the stretcher is fine, well minus being int eh hospital on a stretcher :P, but the younger women has SHIT her god damn pants while sitting in the waiting room. and she did NOT even get up to go to the washroom. to TRY to clean it off her body/back/legs wahtever.
so anyways the CW im with asks if she wants a gown and a pair of hospital pants to wear so she can go an dget out of the messed up clothes she's now wearing (and been sitting in for.. about 10 min by this point). Shit woman goes 'no it's fine i'll just change once I get home after my moms appointment'
so we grabbed some more senior staff who basically demanded she get into the washroom and change.
yea.. ok she's middle aged can clearly walk, there were several washrooms within.. oh. 20 - 30 feet of where she was. and she chooses to shit herself and then NOT take the clean clothes offered to her cuz she wanted to 'wear her own clothes'... her mother may have been physically infirm but this woman needed a shrink BADLY. lol.
