Worked one summer researching an anti-nausea drug at the Mayo Clinic. The basics of the job were to go into surgery and administer the drug (or rather watch as the nurse anetheisist administered the drug), then wait for the patient to reach the post-op ward. When the patient was in post-op we had to sit around and see if they puked (while taking vitals every 30 minutes). If the patient puked we had to record 1) the color 2) the intensity (1-10 scale) 3) the amount...it was a little disgusting, but the perks of working for doctors at the Mayo clinic far, far, far outweighed the sights and smells of puke
