Riding on the ambulance for many years you ended up dealing with it sometimes while taking someone to the hospital.
The worse were drunks or drugies. I can think of the many times you get there and they are covered with their own vomit or start moving them and dive for cover when they let loose.
Sometimes it will get to you and you worry you are going to join them in a dual to who will cover the back of the ambulance.
I read in a EMS report that if you feel you will ended up joining the patient has he fills the vomit bucket, garb a towel throw in down in the step well and let loose. After you regain control pick up the towel and put it in a cleaning bag and hope you don't have that far to the hospital to go.

The last time I threw up was forever and a day ago, basically my early childhood. Sometimes Ive felt like throwing up but nowadays I just try to hold it in for fear of embarrassment. But my sister got a really bad food poisoning(She threw up like almost the whole night) last year and you wanna know from what? Hospital food, well actually a condiment which was their mayo. I think she said it expired a while back. Yeah if you ever want to try expired food, don't. Chances are you'll get really sick from it, if you don't then well you are as Termyt and his iron-clad stomach.

I think though humilating as it seems throwing up isn't as bad as having
diarhrrea and having to continually go all the time.

Last time I can remember vomiting was right after I had a colonoscopy.
I went in and I got on the table and they hooked me up with a IV.
Next thing I remember I was laying on a gurney and they were waking me up to sign paperwork and get dress.
Then they put me in a wheelchair to go out to get in my father's car.
I kept falling asleep on the way home.
When I got out of the car, I walked into the house to my room grabed the trash can and vomited.
I sleep until the afternoon and was not feeling like going to work the next day.

Ever had a really bad stomach bug? Sometimes you get going at both ends and it never seems to stop. :) The only bad thing is the amount of weight you loose due to dehydration and not being able to keep anything in, even water.

Earlier this semester, my service dog Pebbles threw up in my Chemistry lecture. I fet bad b/c the professor wouldn't let me clean it up --he did.
I told one of my friends about it later and he was like "Was it in the new Chemistry building?" "Yes" "Way to go Pebbles! Good girl!"

It's funny now b/c my Chemistry class is turning into one of the most difficult and frustrating ones I've had so far in college. Pebbles summed up my feelings exactly...:lol:
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves."
