    As an electrician, I worked at a morgue for a remodel job. The electrical room, was directly across the hallway from the morgue freezers, onoccasion a mortician walk by with a dead body, they'd always walk by saying something witty. One said, "Don't mind me, we're just passing through, haha get it?" I can understand what he means by having a sense of humor while dealing with the dead. It was a rough job to say the least.

Morticians and forensic pathologists and trauma surgeons walk the front lines of the shocking and unsettling. I am glad they are out there.

    I used to preform cremations, its kinda weird to explain, but i never really got grossed out or whatever, i could eat around the body no problem, clean, organize, build stuff, whatever you do in a crematory. I was always just sad. Not depressed, or anything, just sad. I have a thing where when it rains, i smell decomposition. It happens everytime, i dont know why, it sounds bad but i guess im used to the smell, so its just uncomfortable. I loved preforming my job though, and helping families, its a thankless job being a crematory operator, but its fufilling enough for me. Only reason i quit was cause i wanted to move back home. Now i have plans to build my own home myself. Pretty weird how life works, but it is a blessing whether you are religious or not.

    I remember seeing an autopsy back in 2014 when I was 23, which was optional for us in paramedic school. I can handle gruesome scenes and dead bodies, but not watching someone cut into them. It was a tortuous 2 hours. I passed out when they started slicing the heart into strips, and the wannabe surgeon nerds/students started laughing at me. Idk how people stomach it; I’ve read that a lot of surgeons are sociopaths, but I’m not saying all of them are. (The guy died of a heart attack btw “see that gray area right there?”)

I believe the vast majority of them are not serial killers but would not be surprised if that same vast majority often commit small crimes like DWI and petty theft without any thought of public safety or perception.

    My cousin was murdered in the 90’s. She was stabbed 50 times in the chest and back and her face slashed. She was pregnant and had a small child in the adjoining room. Hubby was working swing shift and cleared very quickly. I’ve always wondered how hard those cases are for the police and coroners. When you meet an officer, of 30 years, and he is crying and saying this is the worst thing he has ever seen - it changes your perspective on the world. I don’t know how they do these jobs but we are THANKFUL!!!

    Same here. I, through the local high school Works Program back in 1981, trained as a lab aide in a clinical lab. AIDS was just about the strike the world. I saw what the phlebotomist were doing and told my boss, the lab manager (who became my mentor) "I think that I could do that". He said, with an air of doubt, "Oh? Here is the phlebotomy handbook. Take it home, read it, and when you come back tomorrow, we will see". I came in the next day, still just a senior in high school, and with a lab tech as the volunteer, nailed it, drawing the three vacutainer tubes for a full chemistry panel. He said, "If it gets busy, start drawing blood samples from patience". For my 18th birthday he gave me my certificate. Moving forward in my education, by the time I was doing my nursing pre-requisites, I had already worked on cadavers, and seen my share of blood. However, I do believe that you are born with it. You see the cycle of life for what it is and live life fully. Hence, I also raise and release Monarch butterflies, play multiple instruments (keyboards, percussion, vocals, compose, perform) etc. It is imperative that you see the bigger picture.

    It doesn't affect them as much when it is just a random person on the street, but you better believe that most do see trauma differently when it is personal, like a close family member. I stopped being a paramedic early for the reason that seeing children with extreme trauma gave me mental trauma. Adults I could deal with, but children affected me differently... and no, I don't have any kids.

    It sounds weird but after seeing my dad's body after he died and cleaning him it became really easy for me to handle dead bodies. I know it sounds weird but it was a mental shift where I realized once I could do that I could handle any other death because no other can ever affect as greatly. In that regard my mindset change and it was so much easier. As weird as it sounds I think it's only a modern thing where people are so disconnected with death for the most part. To give an analogy it's kind of how most people don't even know how chicken gets on their plate. They just buy it directly from the grocery store but can't really understand or comprehend the actual process that it entails. Similarly, most of us are so far removed from death. We just show up at the part when the body is already in the casket. Essentially, as society has advanced or progressed, we've created services to distance ourselves from the traumas involved in personally dealing with death.

    My uncle became a state coroner and in high school I would beg him to take me with him one day. I found it fascinating. I think it's harder to work in the actual hospital taking care of people, dealing with all the emotions, all the b******* too. Once you have passed and only the body is left, I can at least separate the two. Your soul is gone and your pain is gone, only the shell remains. But watching someone slowly die and then the same the next day and the next day we're working in a Cancer Ward in a children's hospital?.... I could never handle that!

    You become desensitized real quick. Children are the hardest, but it becomes like a movie, but almost in reverse. By that, when you watch a movie you suspend belief. When viewing traumatic injury and death you also suspend reality while being fully embraced by it. Visually it's not hard, lingering smells are hard to seperate and compartmentalize though. Especially if they get stuck in your hair and clothing. Then you go home.
