2 bad jobsI was always interested in working in the medical field so got sent to the hospital disinfection unit for my work experience at 16, the nicest part? Working in what they called the 'kitchen' which is where dirty instrument trays come back down from theatre and you wash off all the debris prior to them going into the cleaning machines. You have to count all the instruments to ensure they haven't left any in the patient, and wash all the blood, faeces, and general vile stuff off them. Once I cleaned a piece off appendix off! That was lovely :)
My friend was signed on at a temping agency and sent to work in the incinerator at the local hospital. He managed half a day. Can you imagine what goes down there in those 'yellow bags'.
