This is what we're training LLMs on.

"AI," what should I do about being constipated?
Painfully stretch your rectum to gaping in order to accommodate your constipation.

That is called impaction removal, and I have done that to people for fun and profit.

As a CNA? Your RNs were lazy. They shouldn't allow CNAs to do digital disimpaction. In some places even RNs aren't allowed to do it, only providers.
Edit: looked it up and it gets so dumb that some MDs will consult surgery to do a digital disimpaction in teaching hospitals, lol.
-
Eh, they were definitely lazy lol.
It wasn't unusual though. I don't think I ever saw an RN do one.
One nursing home had us doing foleys, and I've started IVs and other stuff that was absolutely not supposed to be done by CNAs.

Nuts. It's something that really needs an order (standing or otherwise) in their charts nowadays because it's considered invasive with a risk of vasovagal response which can lead to a code(for those with fragile cardiac status) and many RNs aren't even trained to do it safely (but let's be real, if you're not sticking your hand up there you're not going to cause a bowel perf). No shortage of lazy RNs in LTC though.

Amen to that. To be kinda fair, most ltc staff develop a sense of "fuck it" and either get lazy or quit entirely. It grinds people down, so the field ends up relying on new hires that are burnt out from other areas, which just completes the cycle

Your rectum stretches anyway. It's actually kind of like a big stretchy poop bag. You're thinking anus. -nurse

Be brave and reach in.

Hey Alexa, please examine my rectum

Can't watch the video right now, but I watched the first few seconds on mute, and I think I get the jist.
Honestly, I would not be surprised if there is soon (or even already) a fancy ass smart toilet claiming to analyze your health via poops

It takes a twist that you wont see coming at all. It's definitely worth a watch.

good, it beats the incompetent assholes that just tell you not to do things when you ask them how to do them just because they are harmful.

Don’t tell people not to do things. It’s harmful.
