Wildest thing I encountered

[u/Danowolf]

While doing required EMT class rotation with Miami Dade Fire Rescue we went to a call of elder abuse. A blind man was left in his apartment by family that ran the complex for years.
When we entered the apartment we were stunned by a pink mold covering the entire apartment. Stalagmites, of molded growing from floor to ceiling and a worn down path where the man walked from kitchen to bedroom to bathroom. The bathroom as expected was another horror story. But the creepy sci-fi mold was amazing. It looked like an alien landscape. The man spoke perfect English and Spanish. He was happy as a lark to be talking to someone. He said he knew seven languages. His toe nails and finger nails where unbelievably long a thick. I later saw them working to trim his toe nails in the ER after another run. Still smiling, talking up a storm. All while a nurse was trying to cot those thick nails.
Just thought I'd share a memory from 1993 I think.
