Sitting at the front nursing station when the door rings.
"Delivery for STICU!"
Delivery? It's one in the morning, what the hell is being delivered at one in the…
Oh.
Ohhhhhh…
THE LEECHES!
He's delivering the God forsaken leeches!
I am thoroughly grossed out. I hate leeches. I hate them with every fiber of my being. I can't touch them. I don't even want to look at them… but I need to open the box so we can put the squirmy bastards in their refrigerated tanks.
I managed to open the box. As you can see, I even managed to pick up one of the bags.
That's as far as I got.
Dude was far too squirmy and I was far too grossed out to do anything else with them. God bless our tech for being able to grab the box and take them away from me so she can put them away.
I'm a horrible charge nurse. I'll take that. I'm not touching those bastards though…
And I thought going to the empty blood bank at 1am was gross!

Leeches are actually the worst thing. Ever.

Are you sure touching leeches are not in the fine print of your job description? 😉
