Day 991

I got to put in a nasogastric tube today through an old lady’s nose. Well, I got to try at least. The membrane in the back of her nose was really tough and I was scared of damaging it and/or accidentally lodging the NG tube into her brain like in that x-ray they always scare us with. So the nurse ended up pushing it through the other nostril instead. He agreed that it was an unusually tough membrane.
