Even if you never find yourself working as a certified nurse assistant in an emergency room, you’re bound to bear witness to some very odd medical conditions during the course of your career. You’ll surely run across a few stories that fall well outside the boundaries of what is covered in certified nurse assistant training courses.

When asked about the bruises about his head and chest he said that they were from him ramming himself into the wall in an attempt to make the nitroglycerin explode.
