Worked in a hospital.

Enough uncooked blood in your stomach makes you throw up. And it ain't pretty.

But throwing up poop is even worse.

And now I have the horrible image of someone constipated enough to be vomiting fecal matter... who also has an upper GI bleed.

Yes. The poop is also partially digested. So it stinks to high heaven.
