If they are feeling like they're coming down with something, they may be looking to see what color it is. Color of mucus, etc, is a good indication of an infection.

Other than that, I'm at a loss.

My nephew was in a horrific car accident when he was 16 and was at Shepherd for six weeks. Anyhoo, he made a full recovery (the most miracle-y of miracle stories, let me tell you!!!), but had to continue with PT, OT, and neuropsychology exams for several months after he was released. The neuropsychologist noted at one visit, "Patient blows his nose and examines the contents."

But as for me, it's as much a horror thing as anything else. I have nasal issues...long story short, nasal surgery (major reconstructive) when I was in college solved many problems. But I can't blow my nose like most people. That is, I can blow it, but it takes several times before everything is expelled. So I look to see if I need to keep blowing. But also because it grosses me out and I can't seem to look away. I am so weird - I can watch surgery, see sputum drawn from a lung, and watch babies of all kinds being born. But one look at nasal contents and I just gag. Which makes me not be able to turn away. I truly am the weirdest person I know.

I never had kids, of course...we all know that, so the whole "everything" that goes on with birthing a baby grosses me out. My sister and I were on the phone with each other watching the same program about delivering babies, a number of years ago. When the baby came out and all the grossness that goes with it, I started gagging on the phone, the whole time my sister was crying and saying "Isn't that just the most beautiful baby?". I thought she had lost her mind!

Do you look at your poop? )

Yes. Not up close and personal, but my mother was a microbiologist, and you can tell all sorts of things by looking at it. So I generally take a quick glance.
