Tenuous post - I'm in a paediatric fracture clinic . . .
and it's usually feral in terms of numbers - 70 to one hundred to be seen in a morning (3 hours) between 4-6 doctors. Today was plodding along well (see a patient, grab next history, check x-ray, call next patient, repeat). . . until about 5 min ago - I've just been puked on.
Just to give you the feeling of realism as you read from your comfy chair/office/bed/other place of b3ta reading-ness, the poor little kiddie got my shoes, trousers, and a large expanse of floor. It now smells slightly sour in here, despite the copious spraying of deodoriser. We're not even halfway through the numbers in today . . .

I think this should get me out of the rest of clinic . . . else I'm resigned to spending the morning screwing up my nose against the vomitus aromus, and plodding on . . .

Bored? Well, I might have been if not for the spew . . .

Go out
And somehow contract a cold incredibly fast, thus blocking your nose and therefore you are unable to smell the sick!

EUREKA!

Drawback; You now have a cold.

My hat is off...
...I have a strong stomach but couldn't face the things I will on occasion do, every single day.

You do wonderful work and deserve a big (virtual) pat on the back from me, and every other person who has, or will, need skills such as yours in an horrific moment.

I think so!
But if you can get Bicarbonate of soda, it works with sick smells. I dunno why, it just does...
