Helen:
5L frank pus!
Drained out of a walled-off ovarian abcess present for YEARS in an old lady...the scan looked malignant, the poor O+G reg was trying to carefully dissect this enormous thing out, when they accidentally nicked it and it essentially exploded with pus fountaning out of her abdomen. I know it was 5L because that's how many containers the suction drained into. We had a poor orderly sprinting down the corridor to find fresh containers after only 2 mins of suction.
Nadia:
I saw a guy in EAU and we drained 7.5 LITRES out of his bladder!!!! MENTAL.
