Hey! There is nothing funney about that! I have run calls in sh^&% holes like that and I didn't get to wear a suit like that!!!!! I'm calling OSHA. It just blows me away that people can live like that.....
You and my wife could talk!
They had this "patient" that was so fat they had to cut out the door jams in his apt. to remove him. He was on state assistance (Legally blind) and ballooned up to 450 lbs. Never showered or bathed. Had a mild heart attack. He ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks not because of the heart attack, but because of open sores he had all over his body from not bathing and sitting around.
Now picture this: 2 brand new nurses assistants standing next to my wife, basically getting their first taste on the job. They had this guy on the crash cart and wheeled him in the ER room, they begin to cut away more clothing to expose yet more mass flesh to hook up additional heart monitors when suddenly
a huge cockroach comes squiggling out from beneath his clothes. One of the two nurses assistants passed out right there.
