The NG Tube

Sometimes at school, we are required to perform procedures on each other to really understand what our patients go through. Well, the latest and greatest was shoving a nasograstric tube up our nose and down into our stomach! Let me tell you it was horrible.....

I gagged the whole time,

It burned so bad.

I could not stop my eyes from watering like crazy.

No matter how much water I drank it still burned.

I wanted to punch my "nurse" the entire time.

It took forever.

It didn't go down the first time,

so they did it twice.

And on top of it all, my instructor made me smile for a PICTURE! I am giving it all I got to smile.

If you ever have to go through this, I suggest you opt out! Trust me.
