Hmmm, well I am sure you have had moreexperience with blood and such than I have, but what about feces and vomit? Those tend to be two of the things that really gross people out at my job...

Where I work that is us nursing assistants job.;)
Was curious what you have experienced. I would think being an EMT is one of the only jobs that would have potentially leave you more desensitized to being grossed out than my job as a nursing assistant.
I've helped pick up amputated parts, or "partial amputation. I think there is a more technical term for partial amputation I don't remember, but yes, lots of blood. I am a EMT-B by the way, not a paramedic. I have seen some really awful situations. I think my last major one that upset me a lot was seeing a toddler in the middle of the intersection dead in his car seat. Anyways, blood and stuff doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would, nor does vomit or "poop", the smell is a different story, but I have stuff for that, that helps.."sometimes". heh.[QUOTE="HT89488"]I've seen much worse, to the point I've notice how much I have been de-sensitized.
