shituation

For nurses CNAs (nurse's assistants) and other health care workers - a situation in which a patient is incontinent of a very messy bowel movement, likely in their diaper, and sometime all over the bed linens; requiring great efforts and stamina to carefully, respectfully, and cheerfully clean and change the patient.

That last patient was a genuine shituation. We needed all hands on deck. I went home and immediately took a shower in case I got any on me.
