Re: Weird things you judge people for?

I don't think it's a loss of humanity so much as it is a greater ability to detach and compartmentalize. That's a good ability to have in certain situations. Imagine how hard surgery would be if all the surgeons kept retching and going, "OMG I'm so sorry but all this blood and the amputated limbs really gets to me..."

My dad's a doctor, though. He's had to be at the autopsies of small children and it's horrible, but you have to be able to do your job and find out what happened to them so you can help other people.

Hm, that's a good point. I had not considered that doctors and whatnot have to do that.

The same goes for almost anyone who works in the healthcare industry, really: nurses, orderlies, EMTs. Those people see some gnarly shit on a daily basis and neither they or their patients can afford even a brief breakdown where they're overcome by all the disturbing things they see.

I'd also include people who work dangerous jobs: military, cops, firefighters. They all require the ability to detach temporarily from the horrors of the job because they need to make life or death decisions. It's a sacrifice they make for others.

Us healthcare folks also tend to have what people will call 'gallows humour' because sometimes it's easier to make jokes about things (even if regular folks would probably find it inappropriate) than focus on the morbidity of a situation.

Yep. My father (and all the nurses I've ever known) are exactly like that. It helps them cope.
