My father just died in his sleep. He had passed by the time the paramedics arrived.
They still did their best, which I am very grateful for, but they even an entire trash bag full of used instruments that were stuffed under the bed for some reason
I’m glad that I found it sooner over later but it’s mildly infuriating that they just discarded their medical waste under his bed.
(NSFW some blood)
I’ve been taking care of him for over 5 years and it’s made things a lot harder for me, seeing all of that all over.

I spent nearly the last 5 years of my life dedicated to taking care of my elderly father and my grandmother.
I don’t have anyone else to vent to, and my father was the last of my family.
So excuse me when I used a public forum to try to take my mind off of my world collapsing.
I have no stake in this thing, but I can say condolences and you’re doing good. I can imagine needing to get your mind off things. When I was dealing with a death, I didn’t want to be left alone in the same flat for 5 minutes.
I’ve dealt with paramedics a bunch of times and they always leave a mess behind. I can understand that since they have more urgent things to do (I only wonder about the biohazard rating of such trash), but combined with this situation, it can certainly leave a shitty feeling.
Thank you for your kind words.
Yeah, it’s like the last thing I needed in my life at that moment was to grab some bloody life-saving instruments.
To be safe, early today I made sure to call the local non-emergency line and let them know what they left behind.
Not to be a karen, but to double-check Washington state laws on trashing that sort of stuff.
Lmao I just checked and you’re right. Feels surreal, like that video of that girl whose mum comes in while she’s singing apple bottom jeans, yells at her for sleeping with a teacher, and leaves, just for the girl to continue singing through her tears.
Difference is that video was staged.
I think dude is having a mental break down or something.
Yeah, I’m having a bad day after and I needed to take my mind off of things for a while.
We all grieve in our own ways.
Geesus fuck people… What else you want to mandate? How long after family death are you allowed to go online? A day? A week? How long until you’re allowed to watch a movie? I’d bet you’re one of those people who accuses everyone of being nazis. Next time use your hands to wank rather than be a wanker.

Judging by 74 up 48 down many agreed with him
Lots of judgemental wankers around here.
Shame on you.
