Has this ever happened to anyone?

[Tazdrummer]

Ok, since I am now employeed, I thought I would throw this one out to you...

Has anyone ever worked somewhere where it gave you the creeps? Currently my assignment is working out at University of Michigan Hospital replacing PC's. The other day me and the other guy I have been working with were replacing pc's in the OB/GYN section. Needless to say we overheard things that most men shouldn't. *shivers*

So, have any of you guys worked anywhere similar where you were like "I wish I didnt hear that or see that" or you know....

Between computer jobs back in 1993-95 I worked for a hazardous waste company in Clevelan and we had contracts with the medical centers there.We had to empty all the Biowaste.The pay was great but I lost alot of weight because I did not have much of an appetite after work......I know you want to know what we saw ,I can not hohestly tell you the difference between a Liver or Kidney or a Tumour so lets leave it at that..... <IMG SRC="smilies/redface.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/redface.gif" border="0">

I was called to fix a PC at the local hspital. When I arrived I discoverd it was located in the psychiatric ward. This wasnt a big deal as I had been in this area before. Not this time. I was escoreted through the usual ward to a secure location at the back. The nurse told me this was where they kept the real problem patients. I walked inside and I saw some people with some obvious mental problems. OK I know I not a qualified doctor but from what I saw they were there for not only for their safty but mostly for the safety of others.
Me being a professional didnt let this worry me too much as I had 2 nurses with me making sure I was OK while i worked away. I fixed the problem drunk some coffee and left.

It was only when I got back to the office I discovered I left my pen sitting on top of the keyboard. How many of us loose pens that way I wonder. A little voice in my head started shouting warnings to active the shields and send a priorty one message to starfleet command with a update of the situation. Luckly I ignored this message and phoned the hospital to warn them where I left the pen incase it ended up in someones back. The nurse phoned me back a few minutes later to thank me for noticing the missing pen.

I still wonder what would of happened if I didnt notice the pen was missing???

i was trying to help out in a family business that didnt work out at the end..but oh well, but the problem this was a party store i worked at we sold balloons and gifts, well this place wasnt in the best area, infact his place was in a sh*t hole, why my family picked a place like this to put a store up i have no idea.
but it was next to a mexican resurant so i would go there and order burrito and stuff, it was wierd every time i walked in there all the gangbangers in there would stare at me and after a while they realized i wasnt a piece of crap like them and they just went on with there business, the scary thing is on the way out i was walking back to the store i hear like gun shots and i see a bunch of people running.
i stay away from ghetto areas now <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

p.s also in that same resurant while eating a burrito a cokaroach fell on my sholder.
after that i didnt eat there anymore. <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Well, Taz, welcome to the wonderful world of hospitals.

I've seen a lot of jarred organs and tissue in my job, but nothing compares to the shock I felt soon after I started working here.

I turned a corner to reach the service elevator and came upon a gurney which had a covered body upon it no longer than 18". A baby.

Needless to say I was NOT expecting this. First thing I did when I got back home was give my kids long, drawn out hugs.

Why, oh why do they keep the IT department in the basement where Pathology and the morgue are located? <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

I'll tell you right now, from being in a medical field (EMT) what you saw was nothing. the first time yeah, hard, but you get numb to it. Try having someone die with your hands on them, make that better, a miserable, painful, screaming death. I belong in that psychiatric ward, Ive seen death so much that when they told me my grandfather died of lung cancer during the night, i said ok, whens the funeral and went back to my cigarette. I pity my self and my peers, for I have not a single emotion left. I think that is also why im so shy...I know death happens often and unexpected and dont want to lose someone.
Oh yeah, ive personally been dead twice myself

I just have to ask, if you don't mind talking about it, what you meant when you have been dead twice?

[cyberhh]

The company I work for has a 24x7 Nurse call line - let me just say that I have heard more about the education level of the average idiot and the nasty things that they experience than I EVER wanted to know. (How much water do I have to drink and how many times should I jump up and down to prevent getting pregnant after intercourse?) - Honest.

A place i used to work for had to do a setup for a "Retirement Home". That place literally made me shiver. I have never seen so many people devoid of hope, forgotten by their families, with no human contact doped to the gills on gods know what to keep them quiet **unless you count that NIN concert**. We cabled the front office and dispenciary in record time...Since then I've been keeping a lot closer contact with my parents

My last job, I was a Rescue technician for Marine Mammals. We were working on a Pygmy Sperm Whale. Unfortunatly it wasn't doing so well and all of a sudden started dying. The way a sperm whae dies is, they start swimming around uncontrollably, convulsing like crazy and crashing into walls and stuff. Then they void everything they can, so they throw up stomach contence, anal contence and then they ink, a defensive maneuver. finall they fall to the bottom. Most horriffic sight I have ever seen. Then we had to do the autopsy on it. It was infested with parasites. Literally, we sat it's lungs on the table and it was moving because of the amount of worms in it. I didn't eat for three days. Not very fun

[amcfreek]

in one of my temp jobs i was inside a not local old folx home and what you say is corect dude, man alls i did was 2 days worth of bull work for a painting crew i wanted to trash a few people who worked there , some where nice others tried my paitence, they alowed some to run rampant! also i hate to say it the first thing they like to do is over medicate some one to the point of zombie ness, been through the mental health crap, about 10 years ago, they lost bothe cases , i filed a one dollar law suite, that i cant discuss eaven in private, they are oficially ohh and 2 , or with the dollar one oh and 3 they lost in a very big way!! every time like im stupid!! first thing here take this you need to take this, my answer always you first!!they where orderd to never bother me again or the juge would throw the book at them !! and thats if i ever see him here againn,, quoted the judge there!! i had a blast , was like bein in high school again , they probably where popin those meds when i got done agrevateing them!! the head consuler left early on the day of my hearing wonder why!My lawyer kept kicking me under the table saying thats my job , doctor got ripped a new one , one of the most funniest things i can think of is that doc , trying to say whe have a reason, and not being able to produce one!!
