[chaserfan]

yeah well you run an ambulance call with something stuck in someones eyeball and it'll freak you! or their eyes blown out of their head with a shotgun or from being ran over, it'll freak ya I tell you.....*shudders*

I do handle personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits and trust me, I have seen some nasty @ss stuff, albeit in photos, involving auto and motorcycle accidents, industrial accidents, what we euphemistically call "medical misadventures", etc. [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

But I don't doubt for a second that the impact is 10x worse if you deal with something like that in person.

[chaserfan]

ahhhhhh since thats the case, you should be able to handle anything! its the smells that gets you more than the visual!

damn I wish I would have went to law school.

[Slytherin Snape]

BINGO! on the smell! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

As a type of "hazing", when I clerked at the district attorney's office when I was in law school they made all the clerks - I was the only female - go watch an autopsy.... live..... in the same room. [img]eek.gif[/img]

Well, what I quickly discovered was that due to years of "conditioning" through TV and movies the sight and sound of the procedure didn't really "bother" me. It was the smell that freaked me out at first. [img]confused.gif[/img]

But once I got past that and tried to take it as a learning experience, it was acutally pretty interesting. All but one of the guys punked out and left. I'm so short I ended up pulling a chair over next to the table to stand on so I could see better. I think the coroner got a kick out of all the questions I was asking - he got to play show 'n tell.

Damn, baimun..I just had a heart attack a day and a half ago. I'm gonna end up back in the feckkin' hospital... Why did I look?? I should have known bett.....*keels over* [img]wink.gif[/img]

[chaserfan]

I loved autopsy and cadaber lab! it was so wild! think disecting a frog is a learning process! the only thing that wasnt to cool was being splattered with drops of blood. guess I stood too close. the one guy I saw autopsied was 30 something and drank himself to death. wild when they do the brain!

[chaserfan]

Darth, get a defibrilator, it zaps you back for the next baimun post!

[Slytherin Snape]

My guy was mid 40's and had been shot to death by his step-son over the phone bill.... musta been a hell of a phone bill! [img]eek.gif[/img]

Yeah, the head/skull/brain part was the freakiest.... what they do to the face! [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Also weird to see them pull out what looks like a regular bolt cutter for the ribs too. [img]wink.gif[/img]

[chaserfan]

lol, yep. and the dude sliced all the organs and said about the heart "looks like tasty little steaks eh?" they have a stranger personallity than I do. and mines pretty strange!

I need out and into a job that pays better and wont kill me in the end.

Read the first chapter of Michael Chrichton's
"Travels" if you want to gack up your cheerios.
The book is a hodge podge of stories from his life, and the first chapter talks about his years in med school.
