To be deeply embarrassed for vomiting in ambulance?

You have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about,they deal with this day in day out and you are unwell they completely understand this, wishing you a speedy recovery

You're really sick!! Don’t be embarrassed, I’m sure medical professionals have seen and dealt with worse.

They won't bat an eye. They have lots of people vomit in their ambulances. More likely to be irritated by people who have got very drunk on a night out and done the same. You were poorly. I hope you feel better.

Aww, bless you. Hope you're feeling better and please don't feel bad!

I got my appendix out a few months ago. When I arrived in Emergency, they took some blood and I barfed all over the chair. I was a bit embarrassed but had other things on my mind.

Don’t worry about it, OP.

Don't be embarrassed for being poorly and your body doing what it needs to do.
Health care workers know this, they don't care they just want you to be well.
Wishing you a speedy recover and don't give it a thought (unless that thought leads you to take them chocolate biscuits 😋)

Oh honey it's an ambulance. They've seen worse, they've seen it all.

Ambulances are for treating and/or transporting seriously ill people. You won’t be the only person to vomit in there in the past 48 hours!

Glad you’re getting pain relief and hope you’re feeling better soon.

When I had an infected gall bladder and other complications, I vomited not just on the ambulance floor, but managed to get the paramedics shoes and the bottom of her trousers 🤦 I was on a fairly decent dose of morphine and convinced that she kept putting an oxygen mask on me and I didn't want to throw upnot a in it, so I moved it, and then threw up. And then realised that it was a sick bag that fits your nose and mouth like an oxygen mask too late.
She was incredibly kind about it and I tried to find out who she was but I couldn't because I wanted to at least give her some flowers or chocolates and apologise!
I've been puked on (and worse) several times in previous jobs and honestly although it's not a pleasant experience, it's not really a big deal especially when someone is really poorly like you sound to be.
Get well soon 💐

Oh @Sabrina145 , I hope you are feeling better. Like others, honestly don't feel embarrassed.

Can I tell you a funny story, to make you feel better?
When I was in my 20s, I felt my lips tingle, my eyes started to swell, I could barely see. My whole face started to completely swell and bloat up.
I rang 111 and they sent an ambulance., they thought I was having a severe allergic reaction and they could hear my breathing becoming bad.

Anyway, I was trying to stay calm. But I looked in the mirror and i looked like the elephant man.

The ambulance showed up and the 2 male paramedics were unbelievable gorgeous.

As the vain and shallow person I am, I was so embarrassed and devasted I looked horrific and I just broke down crying.
Snot, drool and I was dribbling everywhere.
The lovely paramedic sat in the back with me, just patted my hand and told me everything was going to be OK.
This just made it worse, not only gorgeous but so bloody caring and lovely. 😁

You have nothing to be embarrassed about. I hope you feel better soon.

OP, please don’t feel bad. As a nurse for many years I can tell you that I have been covered in every bodily fluid you can imagine. It’s an occupational hazard and nobody will think badly of you. Hope you feel better now.

Of all the things those paramedics have seen and dealt with today, I'm sure a bit of spew won't be the thing that plays on their minds when they go home at the end of their shift.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Awww I can understand why you're embarrassed but don't be. I bet you weren't the first or last to vomit that shift. The paramedics will have seen it all and worse before.

Hope you're feeling better

The only time I vomited in an ambulance was when I was accompanying my very poorly Mum - and it went everywhere....for the whole 20 mile journey. When we got to the hospital the paramedics told the nurses they'd spent more time looking after me than her! 😂

No need to be embarrassed. They are there to care for very ill or injured patients and have seen it all before. You won't have been the first or the last.

Hope you are feeling better now and are getting treatment.

Projectile vomiting is not something you can control. Medics will have seen it before, they won’t judge you.

If it helps, I got really bad food poisoning , got my head in the toilet, passed out, then crapped all over the floor. DH cleaned me up then carried me back to bed and cleaned the floor and got me a bowl for vomiting. I’m 67, I had absolutely no control of my body. Nothing to be ashamed about.

I hope you’ve been sorted out and are feeling a lot better.

I'm two weeks out from my waters gushing all over the shared bathroom of my labour ward room and then the room itself.

The midwives will have seen dozens of the same since then.

I mean they don’t love when that happens, but it’s not out of the ordinary 🙂 of the substances that they get to clean up it’s one of the better ones!

Hope you’re feeling better!

It’s so nice to see the lovely replies here for Op. feel better soon xx

Don't worry - you were ill and couldn't help it. I hope you feel better soon.

they've probably had worse
at least you were in the ambulance because you were sick, rather than use it as a taxi service.

Glad you're feeling better - hopefully a good night's sleep will help too
