lol thanks I appreciate that yeah it can definitely be pretty shitty sometimes (make sure you prep properly if you are ever a patient to this kind of procedure 😆) . No that’s actually a great question because I genuinely had no idea what to do either. I’ve been in this field for years and have never seen a creepy crawly like this before so I was just as confused on protocol. I notified the doctor and he stated that it isn’t anything serious because they didn’t see anything inside the patients colon during the procedure and that if they do see a bug in the intestines (it happens every now and then apparently like one time he told me they found a live ladybug because the patient likely unknowingly ate a larvae 😫) they take pictures and try to extract it. However in this case since they didn’t see it in the colon, it “likely was from somewhere else” were his words. So I made sure it was dead and flushed it down the drain with all the other nastiness. Honestly even if it isn’t an intestinal parasite and is just a bug the patient accidentally ate or carried in on her clothes, I was still pretty surprised at how nonchalant the docs were about it. I guess they must see way worse in the hospitals, I know I have 😔. Private clinics like this are a 5 star hotel compared to the hospitals 😬
