My mother works the night shift
at a hospital that serves some very seedy, stabby, shooty, and otherwise violent communities - so she usually gets bled on profusely within an hour of coming to work every night. Wednesday night's patient was miraculously not a stabbing or shooting, but an old lady with every other problem imaginable.

Just as a terrible thunderstorm was moving in, this old lady started vomiting and shitting blood all over the room. The feeding tube sticking out of her stomach was spurting like a garden hose. It was all over the bed, the floor, and everyone else in the room (who were luckily outfitted with plastic gowns and the like). They were pumping more blood into her to keep her alive while they tried to stop the bleeding.

The room started flooding with water from the thunderstorm (it's a shit hospital) and after a while there was an inch of water and blood on the floor. They eventually stopped the bleeding. God knows how they cleaned all that up.
