The Answers You've All Been Waiting For

Sorry guys, I've been neglecting the internet a lot lately. To be fair, I've been working a lot and had obligations with friends and family. And also drinking. But anyway, it's not that important. What is important is the answer.... which is... C! If you chose smelly kid, you are the winner!
Yup, someone really did bring in their child because he was smelly. The dog and the booger are both fictional scenarios made up by ER BFF and I respectively that we are convinced WILL happen one of these days. We're just waiting for it.
The inevitable question I'm getting whenever I tell real world friends this story is "was the kid really that smelly?" I'm afraid I can't even answer that question. He was in a pod next to a patient with a GI bleed, all you could really smell in that whole part of the ER that night was melena and sorrow. So, I guess not smelly enough to overpower the scent of GI bleed poo, then. Thanks for playing.

  1. I've gotten report before on a baby where I was told it smelled funny. Not mec stained either. Just smelled funny. Baby did but no idea why.

  2. When I was younger my parents had to take me to the doctor 'cause I just smelled horrible for a few days, even after numerous baths. Turns out I stuck a piece of a nerf-ball up my nose a week or so before... Doctor had to use tweezers to remove it.

  3. If the kid had smelled funny enough to overpower melena, I think that might have been a legitimate cause for concern.

  5. Well there is that condition where people don't break down certain amino acids, but legit or not - it is NOT an emergency!
