None had. I suggested that they should volunteer and sit through an hour class with it inserted. That way, when they go to insert one, they can say, "This is going to be very uncomfortable" and say they know this because they've had it done. They'd also learn not to pause when they set off the gag reflex. Even on removal, since she did it hand over hand, she paused and I almost gagged. Should have been one long continuous pull. When they'd unplug me I often got squirted. I suggested that they leave the pump on "continuous". That worked and I never got squirted again. I was the patient, how come I had to suggest that?
I was a good boy but still got bit.

We 18D students are very well acclimated to the evils of the NG tube. I think for the instructors in SOCM, it is a fun day! Anyways, the student I was assigned with, could not get the 14 french tube past my deviated septum: blood, gagging, pain...quite the experience!
I feel for you and hope you get better quickly!
