This IS a true story! 

Our Sunday School Super, while attending Bible college, was working as an
orderly in a Minnesota hospital. He was down to his last day and had really
enjoyed the job. Sometimes, he got to clean the operating rooms and such
interesting places as most of us never get to see, awake at least ;)
This day another orderly had taken off work and Scott had to fill in for
him. A nurse on the fourth floor called for an orderly just about 3 hours
before Scott's scheduled quitting time. The instruction was: bring mop,
bucket and cleaning materials. Scott promptly grabbed a cleaning cart and
jumped on the elevator. Arriving on the fourth floor he was greeted by a
nurse, holding her hand over her mouth, looking somewhat green. She pointed
to room 442 and quickly ran away. There were two other nurses inside the
room cleaning up an elderly woman in bed who must have been 75 or 80. Brown
slime covered the floor, splattered onto the walls and (Scott said it really
was!) even on the ceiling. The odor was stifling. Scott spent over two hours
cleaning the small room and attached bathroom alternately upchucking and
cleaning. He finally started to leave, just as he arrived at the elevator he
heard the lady scream "Nurse, Nurse, its happening again!!!" Scott turned
and as the elevator arrived, jumped inside and pushed a button. Mercifully,
his tour was over.

By the way, about the little lady, Scott found out that she weighed only 98
pounds. This is pertinent since medicine is prescribed by body weight. Also
not one but 2 nurses had given her a massive dose of laxative to prep her
for surgery!!!
