I have. I worked as an orderly at a hospital during my college days. i'd have to clean the O.R. rooms after emergency surgeries.
I was mopping the scrub area when they wheeled a new patient in. After about 2 minutes into the surgery they came bursting back out and grabbed a tray of "essential oils" and that's when the smell hit me!
The guy had about 2-3 feet of dead bowel. They had all of his intestine piled up on a stainless table over the operating table. I wondered how they were going to repack all of that back in when they were finished.
