Ah yes - I remember the episode.

Even so though - if it existed, still something I wouldn't care to see.

^ no kidding. it still disturbs me when the harelip pics appear on tv or the news sites. i have become pretty squeamish in my old age. even though i have to inject myself all day long, i don't have the stomach to do it to someone else. i could never be a nurse, but i'm glad there are people around who have the intestinal fortitude for such things.

I don't generally consider myself squeamish (not that this freak shit really falls into that category; it's more just stuff that I don't need to see). I've seen surgeries without being bothered, and I even sliced my knee through the patella when I was a little kid and looking at that didn't bother me in the slightest.

There are two incidents though - one where I nearly fainted, and one where I actually did faint.

I'm in a virology lab. We're doing animal models, and we're supposed to practice injecting dye into specific sites in anesthetized mice, then destroy and dissect them to make sure we did it right.

Thoracic cavity. Abdominal cavity. Subdermal. Trans-cranial.

I have the mouse in my left hand, the syringe in my right, and I go through the abdominal cavity and squeeze.

Didn't like that much, but I did it.

Then I go for the transcranial. You're supposed to hold the mouse in such a way that the head is still, and push the needle through the skull.

I've got it in my hand, have the needle up to the skull, push and feel a pop.

While I'm doing this, I notice that the sounds in the room are echoing off in the distance. I feel like I'm in a tunnel, my fingers tingle, my face tingles, my tongue feels weird, and I'm a bit nauseous.

Once I felt that pop, things get multiplied by a factor of ten.

I can barely stand. I walk up to the front of the room, ask the TA if I can be excused. She looks terrified and says absolutely yes. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was pale white.

That got me out of all of the animal work for the rest of the lab.

The second time, I'm volunteering in the ER.

A diabetic comes in in DKA after some kind of sugar binge.

This actually happens all the time - it's about the third most common thing we see, after drunks (typically with a BAC in the range of 0.2 to 0.4), and people with colds or allergies who really don't belong in the ER.

So this woman is in DKA and she needs a central line.

The doctor (who bears a freakish resemblance to Bonaduce) knows I'm thinking about going to medical school, so he has me come in to observe and help out a bit.

She's convulsing, and he has me hold her left ankle down so I can get a good view while I'm helping out.

He does the procedure - cleans her leg up, inserts the line, does a bit of fishing, and everything is cool. That part doesn't bother me at all.

She has some bandages on her toes on the foot attached to the ankle I'm holding.

He asks me to remove the bandages so he can get a look.

The smell is a little funky - a combination of that sickeningly sweet over-ripe banana smell people get in DKA along with the distinctive grapish smell of Pseudomonas and maybe a bit of yeast.

I don't know if it's that or what I saw, but either way, I close my eyes, and open them a split-second later - but somehow I'm laying on one of the Stryker gurneys in the ER.

Apparently I went ghost white and the doc, seeing this, ran over and caught me while I was on the way down.

The most incredible part of that experience was the sensation - or rather lack of sensation of time passing. It wasn't even like getting tired and going to sleep when you're exhausted - it was instantaneous from my perspective. I close my eyes over here and I open them over there.

Was the smell overpowering or was it just a little gross?

The popping of the mouse's head is...ewww!

This is probably a good thing.

I have no idea if it was the smell or something I saw or the idea or some combination of things.

Whatever I might have seen, I don't have any memory of it. The smell made a huge impression though.

The mouse was pretty horrible.
