Golytely And Run Fast
When patients need GI procedures, they have to drink Golytely to flush out their digestive tract. It tastes like metallic ocean water and most people have to drink a gallon of it. It begins to work in about an hour. I had a patient drink it tonight and was very lucky that he had good bowel control and was able to run to the bathroom. There are few things worse than giving Golytely to an incontinent, bedridden patient.
Masks and air fresheners are a nurse's best friends when a patient is on Golytely. It helps, but a space suit would be better.

Sounds like a space suit would come in handy most times for you; would help with the flying blood too :-)
OMG, i remember i had to drink something like that before i had a colonoscopy.....talk about burning ring of fire! Heh, i never knew i could run so fast!
Karen, I don't think that space suits would be too much to ask for from management. :)
Michelle, pineapple jalapeno pizza has the exact same effect. :)
