Booger

I was taking care of a liver biopsy patient recently, and his care involved him lying on his right side for four hours. I'm not going to write about his care, but all I can say is that all the time I was caring for him, he looks up at me from the bed while I talk to him.

That very day, I was busy - no lunch, no breaks, no bathroom. I didn't have a chance to look in the mirror more or less. I got home, and washed my face and blew my nose. I discovered I had a dry booger, maybe circumference size 1mm. What immediately went through my mind, "Oh gawd, hope it wasn't there while I was taking care of him"

The patient was smiling at me throughout the whole time. Hopefully that smile wasn't a "laughing" sort of smile :p
