Worked at Best Buy and an irate woman came in super mad that we hadn't released her computer yet. I went and checked the notes and was told that she was not to have her computer back and to refer her to management. Did so then thought nothing of it.

Later that day a certain Geek Squad dude came in and filled me in quietly in the back. Turns out the cops had impounded her computer for child porn and she hadn't been informed yet because they were building a case against her. They showed me a few of the file names on the computer and it was stuff like ***LOLITA 14 YO TEEN SEX WITH MAN*** or **Young Teen with Multiple Dudes***. poo poo like that.

Well whoever was checking the PC for unrelated repairs turned it in for CP and the cops were brought into it.

Three weeks later the computer shows back up at the Geek Squad all wrapped in "EVIDENCE" tape and poo poo. We were told to call her to let her know her PC was ready, and when she came to pick it up thats when they'd nab her. Well, she somehow catches wind of it and doesn't' show up to pick up her computer, so for about a month the computer sits in the back with EVIDENCE tape all over it. Technically its still in police custody, so no one was allowed to touch it or mess with it.

After that month is up, the woman shows up PISSED AS HELL again, but this time with a pasty teenager with a hoodie and ball cap pulled low over his head. Unbeknownst to her he'd been downloading a TON of huge porn packages from P2P sites and it was causing havoc with the computer. He either pled out, convinced the police it was an accident, or was too young to prosecute but he ended up getting everything cleared up so that he wasn't on some list and the mom was cleared of any wrong doing. In either case they checked it out and it was determined it wasn't really CP, just fetish porn and/or unintentional child porn from Russia or some poo poo.

Geek Squad wiped the computer and turned the computer back over to her. She was mortified as this EVIDENCE computer was lifted out and set in front of the crowded Best Buy. They had also printed out the entire list of file names and descriptions from the porn directory and handed that to her as well. She wasn't familiar with it so she started reading it, thinking it was an invoice or some such. As soon as she realized what it was she started screaming at him to get his PORN COMPUTER out of the STORE right NOW this is the LAST TIME YOU'RE EVER USING THE INTERNET and I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS TO ME.

Was a pretty interesting ordeal at the time to be ready to take down an evil CP haver, then it turns out its some dumbass teenager downloading a bunch of poo poo. Still was pretty bad to see a life nearly destroyed because of it.

We also had a pig that had some kind of infection on its knee with an abscess the size of a baseball and when I had to rub some salve on it it burst, spraying this yellow/green goo with bloody chunks all over my face. I threw up and some other pig ate my vomit. Rule 101 on working with pigs; always keep your mouth closed.

Worst was when the farmer was away and this sow was in labor, but had a stillborn piglet stuck inside her. Because I was all alone on the farm I had the farmer on the phone in one hand and my other hand up to the elbow in this pig. When I finally found the stuck piglet it disintegrated and I had to scoop bits of mushy dead piglet out of a pigs oval office.

Cookies and cream ice cream is something you give to a disobedient child as a punishment. poo poo sucks, so a mouth full of cum and spit being spewed onto it probably didn't affect much.

Cookies and cream owns and I will fight you irl. That being said, the best is getting strawberry ice cream at a place that does mix-ins and putting Oreos up in that poo poo.

God drat. So I have a rescue cat, when I got the thing and took it to the vet its teeth were in terrible condition, they all had to be removed. So 5k later and thats done, all good. A week or so later the cat started getting recurring eye infections. The vet was really worried and sent the kitty off for xrays. It turned out to be nothing, still got the cat and she rules.

So I now know why they sent her for xrays heh, worried about crazy face rotting disease.

To be honest, probably the day we all made bets on who would cry first when the boss returned and had meetings with us. We all bet that we would be the first one to break down. It was a joke at the time, but after leaving I realized it really wasn't, the entire group was only alive by inertia and if anything too sad to die. Anyway, it ended up not being me.

Not the worst here by a long shot, but admitting a patient who had cardio thoracic surgery, seeing them having to reopen his chest on icu due to massive postoperative blood loss and then him having cardiac arrest every 5 minutes for 2 hours or so needing shocking with a defibrillator. A bad night shift indeed.
Edit: this or withdrawing care. Taking someone who is on e 100% oxygen and extubating them knowing that they'll die within 30 minutes is just horrible.

As I mentioned I worked a few years in an animal shelter, and two cases definitely broke my heart.

The first one was Amber, a 8 year old cross breed dog. She was owned by this totally ordinary middle-class family; father, mother, a boy and a little girl. Nice clothes, nice car, you know what I mean. One day the parents decided that they didn't want to take care of Amber anymore, so instead of bringing her to the shelter so she could be adopted (which was free at our shelter), they decided to just stop feeding her, the assholes. It took FOUR months for them to realise this was a loving lovely thing to do to their beloved pet for 8 loving years and bring her to us. I actually had to carry her from the trunk of the car inside because she was so weak she couldn't even lift her head. She was literally skin and bones, like somebody put wet paper towels on a dog skeleton.

The fuckers didn't even have the decency to take that walk of shame themselves... Just before they left I told the kids (they actually took them with them, loving heartbroken because they actually cared about that dog) they had lovely parents and spat in the fathers face, I was so pissed off I'm amazed I left it at that. I actually got reprimanded for that and that was one of the reasons I finally left that job. Anyway, I made Amber my personal 'project', often coming back in the middle of the night to feed her, playing with her, taking her home on weekends etc. It took almost a year, but she survived and turned out to be the sweetest and most playful dog I've ever worked with. The day she got adopted by another young family and seeing her walking away next to one of the kids of the family, tail wagging like she wanted to take off was seriously one of the best moments in my life and the only time I actually broke down in tears :3:

The other case was just as heartbreaking, but in a different way. One day this old Dutch Shepard was brought in by the police and was in a terrible state. Skin and bones, matted fur and covered in ticks. With covered I mean from a distance the dog looked gray and only when you came closer you could see it was actually a black dog that was covered in ticks. The little fuckers literally sucked that poor guy dry. Turned out he belonged to this old senile guy that couldn't take care of himself or his dog anymore. They were only found by accident when the police did a house to house investigation for some burglary in the old guys street.

Together with a colleague I spend 8 hours straight picking the ticks from his body. In the beginning the dog was scared shitless but as we went along we could see him brighten up a little bit with every tick we removed. In total we found over 1500 of the little fuckers! After a few months when the dog was recovered a little bit we took him to the old people home where his owner was living at that moment to see each other what turned out to be for the last time. When they saw each other both began howling, the dog with joy of seeing his old buddy but the old guy because he was so sorry that he couldnt give his buddy the care he needed. Seeing an old guy crying so hard out of regret and love for this dog was truly heartbreaking... Later we found out the old guy died a few days later.

Not long after that we found his dog in the kennel, all cozy and curled up on his blanket. He had died in his sleep, with one of his paws on his stuffed toy I gave him as company. :gbsmith:

Was working at a library with another student who had blood sugar issues. I asked him to empty the book return for me and he got up rather suddenly, headed over there, almost made it, then toppled over like a stack of bricks, face first into the corner of the book return. Blood splattered, sprayed and gushed forth.
I have never seen that much blood before, I thought he was dead. The pool of blood grew around his motionless body, mouth splayed open like someone had managed to bag a predator.

I'm a financial advisor by trade. I'm an independent advisor now but about 5 years ago I was working for a medium sized firm when this incident happened.

I was sitting at my desk doing paperwork when one of my colleagues comes in with a really somber look on his face, asks if I could talk some sense in to one of his clients. I ask him why, he says "He wants to do something really, really stupid and I can't talk him out of it, I was hoping you could try." He tells me that I wouldn't believe it if he told me the sorry so I figured why not.

So I sit down with this client and he tells me straight away, "I want to withdraw all my savings and start raising emus".

No poo poo.

I asked him why, he just said he'd read something on the internet and decided it was a good idea.

Some important points:
1. He was 55, an accountant by trade and as far as I could tell had zero experience with raising animals.
2. He was asking for nearly $700,000. That was the entirety of his life savings.

He got the money out, and to this day I still wonder how he's doing (probably very badly).

My boss examines the dog and tells the guy that there's some spinal issue that's common in bigger dogs as they get older, and basically there's two options-- go to this super expensive specialty clinic an hour and a half away for a minimum of $5k in diagnostic tests/management for maybe 1-2 more years of severely reduced quality of life or put the dog down right then and there. The guy starts crying, freaking out, and straight up leaves the office after signing consent away to kill the dog. I'm stuck in the room the entire time with a scared and confused sweetheart of a dog literally minutes before it dies in the arms of complete strangers. gently caress that day.

Seeing an infected ileostomy opening where all the surrounding tissue was bright green in color was kind of bad. Saw many stomas in necks of throat cancer patients but I always found those to be cool even when they patient would occasionally cough with me getting a face full of mucous.

Probably in general just the care old people in the hospital setting receive. Everyone did their best, but it was still a lovely rear end way to die. Just knowing nothing you could do could help a patient but doctors orders forced you to do so and what you were doing was either giving no benefit to the patient, giving them false hope, or just making them more miserable. Lots of patient visits with provider are essentially Mcdonald's Drive'Thru medicine because there are too many people to see, not enough people to see them, and more beds are needed or else.

Lots of people where you would be chatting with them and they would tell you that they served x years on the ground in Korea, were awarded with the silver star for what they did, how proud they were to work for whatever company after getting out of the military, how proud they were of their children and grandchildren, how much they are looking forwards to this years Christmas with a trip out west planned, etc.

Then I'd go about my day, etc., go home. Wake up, go back to work, see patient X from the other day on the roster, look up his info, click on his chart and a little hosed up win 98 style pop-up box blurts out:

"PATIENT DIED x/x/xxxx @ 0347am"

:psyduck:

What? How? Huh? gently caress?

Only analogy I can think of is watching that one episode of the Simpsons for the first time where Lisa goes to see Bleeding Gums Murphy in the hospital. She comes back a few days later to visit and is greeted to a sterile hospital room and a nurse saying "Oh, i'm sorry. He died last night."
