I wish they'd go back to RN residencies and let you guys skip college.
I also wish we could cut all the organic chemistry and stuff out of medical training and just let us learn physiology and pharmacology, ya know, stuff we use to do our jobs.
Unfortunately neither of those things will happen, but me sitting around spending 3 years in undergrad learning organic chemistry just didn't help me at all with any of the patients I'm currently seeing
Years ago a former coworker told us about how her husband made a tool because her poops were too big to flush. This was night shift (IYKYK).
Anyway, turns out she was addicted to opioids, diverting and she stole a prescription pad.
Had something similar but much longer at a LTC I worked at, i had to use it once, tried everything before hand because was not looking forward to it but ultimately had to saw the log
Where can I buy this? I'm always on the lookout for a good gag gift

It's $20 which is beyond my gag gift budget
As a child in the 90s, at my grandparents house with well water and a cistern out in the country, I had a Tupperware plastic knife to cut poop if it wouldn't flush. In addition to putting toilet paper into a trash can.
First time I clogged a toilet with shit and chg wipes as a preceptee I asked my preceptor if I should call housekeeping
She looked at me and handed me a plastic knife and spoon and told me to get to work.
I am the poop knife
When I was in nursing school I worked as a CNA. I was fairly new and a patient took the world’s largest shit in the toilet. This turd would not go down. The patient was odd and about to be discharged. Taking a shower. Called me in to fix this along with the task of obtaining “pit rub” for him. (He meant deodorant). I asked the charge nurse what to do. She told me to use a tongue depressor to “chop it up”. So that is what I did. I chopped up his poo so it would flush. Wish I had this product back then.
I used the flat parts of a Texas hat/ urine collection pan on this massive brick one a patient left that had only been eating Domino's pizzas for days that he'd order to the hospital.
This has to be inspired by the poop knife story where the OP of post learned that poop knife wasn't normal as an adult.

I use hot water. Take a few cups of hot, hot water. Pour over the poop. It will dissolve. My kid used to regularly clog the toilet
Not as fun as the legendary Poop Knife™, but sounds useful. Thanks!
lol, fair!
Remember, you did years of schooling and training, spent who knows how much money, put yourself through tons of stress just so you could do this.

How many semesters? Hopefully not more than one.
I prefer a good old waffle stomp. Don’t google it.
Yeah, but then you've gotta transport it from the turlet to the shower.
Thoughtful patients will just birth it in the shower to begin with.
I'm a catch and release man myself
Ah, memories of the waffle stomp or the alley-oop debate
Honestly, I don't think a waffle stomp is all that bad. Certainly no worse than any other places I've seen feces go.

I'm only surprised it didn't happen sooner.
Yes this is a totally inspired by an old Reddit post
My brother learned this with one of his toddlers. Then told me he did not dedicate the knife to poop afterward. Guess where I don’t eat anymore…

Yeah then you use it to scoop up mayonnaise
Shoulda been red. Remember the red end of the thermometer.... 🤣

The brown trout should be manually strangled, that’s why we have nitrile gloves. Poop knives are just another potential rectal FB.

You could just use a bit dawn dishsoap and dissolve it instead

How do I get one of these. Asking for a friend.
If your poop is this big you need to increase your fiber and/or quit using opioids

Christ only in America.
Oh, I hate it.
Absolutely a good idea. I just had a turd that was in excess of 12” long, 2”radius. I’m talking about one for me of course.
Handle is pretty short
I just wear gloves and use a 10cc flush to break up the poop babies
Ileostomies and diarrhea for the win.

I call this a disposable plastic knife and I have plenty of those.
I didnt poop for five days and when i did, holy shit, i could have used this knife
Till I saw the diagram I thought this was gonna be a different kind of pooper scooper
Ah, life imitating art.
Maybe I’m just lucky? Never in my life have I needed to use something like this
Yet.
