A Buttocks Bomb

Giving an enema is high on the list of things that no nurse ever wants to have to do. Now that I'm higher up in the nursing ranks, I have made a promise to myself that I will always delegate the job to a junior.

You lift the buttocks with your non-dominant hand and insert the enema with your dominant hand. You then have approximately three seconds to get the hell out of there to avoid being, um, sprayed/splashed/painted/decorated.. Whichever way you view poo.

When inserting the enema, you sort of feel like a member of the Bomb Squad. You never know when she might blow.
