Here's something you should now. If you are not feeling well, and someone happens to be examining you, please let them know when you are about to vomit.
A patient today in the ED gave me only just enough notice to this regard. And remember, as an eye doctor, I tend to examine you sitting very close, face to face with only inches separating us sometimes.
Now don't worry, I did not get spewed on today. But it was close. Close enough that I got to watch it happen, which is also not a pleasantry for me. Nor is the after effect on the breath when I have yet to finish the exam.

Be like Wayne & Garth and keep a styrofoam cup handy. Tell the patient "If you're going to spew, spew in this."
