BloodLike a scene from The Exorcist, I once spewed a stomach-full of blood all over a charming nurse as I came round after a major dental operation. Tell us your tales of red, red horror.

WorkI work at a small hospital in the UK: such is it's size that the wards are mostly run by the Nurses with the HCAs helping them as required, with the doctors popping in to see their patients as and when they need to.
Obviously, there is a need for a Doctor to be around permanently as well, so we have three or four RMOs (or Resident Medical Officers) who are mostly foreign, and live in the hospital, popping out to do any prescribing or tests as required. They will often take blood as well.
I was in a patients room one morning, when the RMO came in for some blood from the patient. Bloke sighs, having had lots of it taken in the last few days, but lets her get on from it, with only the quip: 'ahh, the vampires are back'.
At which point the RMO replies with a completely straight face in her thick accent: 'Vell yes, I am vrom Transylvania'.
The look on the patient's face was priceless.
