An infected wound that had diarrhea in it.
Never, ever become a nurse's assistant if you can't handle horrible smells :)
Smelling C-diff for the first time is something.
Maybe I'm just built different because c-diff doesn't affect me that much. For me, it's melena, because I literally still smell it for hours after my shift has ended.
Also, while maybe not the worst smell, one of the somehow more disturbing ones was when an intestinal blockage patient belched and it smelled like a fart... which basically it was.
Burning out ones sinuses would be preferable by far
Losing the sense of smell by covid will be seen as a superpower.
