As a nurse's aide in a nursing home for the elderly,
I have seen a lot of dying and death. Part of my duties is when a resident dies, we wash and attend to the body, make them look peaceful for the family to visit and say their goodbyes. This is also an excellent oppurtunity to haze the new aides.

When i was a new aide, the first body I ever had to care for. When she died, she had evacuated her bowels and bladder, and I had to clean up the mess. When I rolled her over to clean her, she moaned loudly, vomited, and her arm involutarily smacked me on the hip. Since then, I have seen a multitude of bodies In the nursing home, we have a death roughly every two weeks or so.
