A surgeon…a couple days ago I was looking at my online medical chart for the day of my surgery in October. One of the posts was by one of the four surgeons and there were pictures of one of the things that they removed from my body, quite massive and it included photos of the surgeon’s bloody gloved hands. Nope, no way.

@cherokeepatti My brother actually thought quite seriously of becoming a surgeon. He was definitely smart enough...but he couldn't deal with blood and bad smells...HUGE gag reflex...so he became a paleontologist, because, he said, "Fossils are never bloody and they don't smell." 🤣

@4meAndyou He makes a valid point. I don’t know how they do it. I was projectile vomiting when I was in ICU after surgery. I kept apologizing and the doctors kept telling me they were doctors and used to it. But a nurse that was in the hospital room they sent me to told me she could handle blood & guts but vomiting was the hardest thing for her to deal with. That’s why I kept apologizing….
