Sure, I've seen a lot of gross things, but then, I have to put myself in the "shoes" of the patient and think, ok, it looks horrendous, but think how that poor guy feels!

Chunky Tongue

I vomited, I hurled
So much, I lost a lung,
But the thing that really bothers me
Is my black and crusty tongue.

Swollen seven sizes
Like a carcass that's been hung,
Just imagine how it feels
To put up with chunky tongue.
