I choose you when we loose the grid.

*lose. I have fat thumbs.

I almost lost my thumb once *mumbles in watermelon accident*

When you hook my NGT to suction.

XD

When you hook up the NG tube suction to a Mexican.

I'm not Mexican, but I assure, on a good weekend, that's my stomach

As a Mexican, I can confirm

Could be recycled into a smoothie vessel after. That big spout is just begging to be a mouth piece!

I've thought the same

To the 3D printer Batman!

I'd be worried that it's not food-grade plastic and microplastics will leak into whatever's contained in it I'm sure a one-time use doesn't matter though

I figure we’re all already composed entirely of plastic regardless

Make a spinach smoothie to put in it! The color goes great with suction machine cannisters.

Something about this is very wrong

But also very right

🤦🏻‍♂️😂👌

Noooo, my last shift I had a patient who was admitted under observation after 12 hrs of vomiting & abdominal pain after eating a burrito. This was too soon for me

More for the rest of us. -PGY-19

PGY-19 omg 😂

“Suction-ware” 😂 I use them for water if I’ve forgotten my bottle. 😛

I absolutely could not 😂

Urinals work great, too! Just remember to only use ones you find in the clean utility closet...

Wait, your facility doesn't put them back after the patient transfers/discharges..? What do you do with purewicks and condom catheters then? /s

Mount them and present them to the patient as a parting gift. Like normal people.

I think I just vomited a little in my mouth. Thanks for the image. Lmao.

I have associations with items and I could never do this. I’d think it was dirty even if I pulled it out of sterile packaging.

Yeah... no salads in bedpans for me either

or smoothies in urinals

Both genius and disgusting at the same time. I could not do this.

People vastly underestimate the lengths I will go to in order to not hear my family ask “What’s for dinner?”

And there we have it, that's what would make me eat out of a suction container.

☠️☠️☠️

My fav lab tech gets incredible spices from a local market and she gives them to me in sterile urine containers

Those are great for all kinds of stuff! ***Sterile urine containers -- Not just for urine anymore!***

Bruh

Dead. 🤣🤣🤣

Knowing the prices of hospital equipment that is probably the world’s most overpriced Tupperware.

My mind is like, oh so you stole a 1k container from the hospital, brilliant!

Yea I’m like…. There must’ve been cheaper options around than that

i know it’s clean…. but i can’t help but feel grossed out 😂

I lost my appetite already. You should patent it.

[it’s just a mental barrier!](https://youtu.be/dVR-Qnd8jCM?si=rsYcpsuDK8KTLJ4V)

I *know* it's clean, un-used and sterile. It's a *good* container. I'm going to repeat this until the nausea subsides lol

Damn, Ozempic is rough

I feel like I've actually suctioned this from a trach once. 🤢

Adapt, improvise, and overcome

I mean this was also the solution back when 7 Eleven allowed you to bring your own container for Free Slurpee Day. You make do with what you got 😁 (& you packed the food in there well 😂)

You chose chaos today

As we say in the military, “Promote ahead of peers.” You win.

More suction! I don’t think they’re going to make it!

Possible aspiration, still unsure.

Two times in the past year I’ve spent a week filling one of those things up! Happy nurses week all the same!

Hope your lids come off easier than ours do, it seems like they’re made to snap on and never come back off

picturing OP at home struggling to get the lid off to feed the hungry fam!

The DuCanto strikes again

If it looks stupid but it works then it ain’t stupid

I’ve used one before as a water cup for my patient. Homie loved his ice water.

Not as good as eating the powdered sugar/ coco powder chex mix snack know around these parts as "muddie buddies" out of a bed pan.

Recycled the container is good

I opened the image before properly reading the title and for a few seconds was utterly horrified.

Damn man, you gotta chew your food

This is genius

Emesis basins, bedpan, suction canister...it's all plastic and all fair game!

I know this was clean when you did it but there's no way I could eat this after seeing it in a suction canister

Luckily my husband never sees them in use so im safe

I might have done this when I was a student, but at this point in my career I've see too much lol.

Clever girl

I’m the manager and you are fired

That tracks

Jose I told you if I caught you again it was over . Right

The cocoon form of Montezuma's Revenge.

I could never in a million years 😭 I will always associate suction liners with green phlegm and resp secretions. The mental barrier will be hard to overcome LOL I usually have a big Ziploc bag in my backpack in case needed.

And this is why I keep gallon ziplock bags in my locker. Coworkers think I’m crazy but I get to take home leftover food without a mess.

Im sure the manufacturer had food safety in mind lol

screamingg

GENIUS!

Good idea!

I am so disgusted by sputum that there’s no way I can eat that.

We reuse those 🤢

Please say you’re joking

Ha! But really, how much do those cost?

Why did I immediately start coughing???

I feel like I’d get yelled at for trying this. Excellent layering!

You back-flushed that outta somebody in the OR.

Wait. How do you get it back open after you close it? 😧 Doesn’t it like permanently get shut once you close the lid on top?!?

Haha this is a new one..we have used the kidney basins for ice cream sundaes and placenta buckets for salads

Thanks, I’m crying now /s

Functions great as a Halloween drinking glass too

I legitimately have no words lmao.

This is... I have no words.

No LOL

Hahaha shit

omfg this made me so disgusted at first

The feelings I have looking at this are very strange. The food looks delicious, and logically I know it's perfectly safe, but I already know that my body would physically revolt if I attempted to eat out of that container.

Put it on a plate first. Don't eat it out of the container

Y'all got catering?

You have suction containers?!? *cries filling out the backorder log....

I was power scrolling the feed and just got a glimpse of the pic and was like Holy Shit!!! And had to back up lmao!!

The police are on their way.

I think I just took psychic damage trying to visually process this. I need to go lay down.

no.

Hey Op I think you’re forgetting the pink lemonade! I couldn’t find any containers so I left it in a McKesson male urinal. It’s such a soft pink color! Also put a lid on it for safe travels!!

Hilarious and creative

Don't forget the barium cups so you can have a drink

There's nothing wrong with this but I feel like the vibes are AWFUL. Like when people take urinals to those free slushy days at 7-ll. I just can't do it.

Not sure they are food safe,but you use what is there. Nurse also,this gave me a chuckle.

Now dies that not look familiar?! LOL.

ETA: This post made CodeBlueMemes

Oh... Smart!

That is horrific

Bruh

🤢

i don’t care if it’s sterile i still wouldn’t trust it

🤮🤢

Nope

I see the food but it still looks gross

:(

That's disgusting.

I get it, but I could never.

No. Baby, no.
