It was for him, but I'm trying to look at things on a purely educational basis now. I got to watch stitches being put in!
I understand why you say that from your previous posts. But never forget there is a living breathing feeling human being behind that. If you can't remember that then you need a new profession.

I assure you, I can remember that. I wiped his tears away as they were stitching him. I love what I do, and part of being in the hospital is seeing all of the trauma cases, which it turns out that I'm pretty good at. So it was cool seeing that I could keep MY cool in that kind of area. I maybe shouldn't have posted it like I did because it came off wrong :)

And it does serve well to remember that, I appreciate you reminding me because I've seen that trait in other techs and it's not something I want to be.

That's good then. I have met many people in the medical profession that treat their patients like lab rats. It's sad. Places like emergency rooms need people that are good under stress. When people are hurt and scared you need a cold person around.

That's OK, we've got it now, like you say, even these more unpleasant experiences can be educating and interesting.
I think your hearts in the right.place.

It is :) I come from a long line of health care and I strive for excellent patient care. I just like seeing all kinds of cases. It betters me as a person and a professional

Is it? The time of day is kinda like the days of the week and just kind of runs together.
Well it's night here and morning as well, evening and night (?) where you are and yeah, it makes little difference except for knowing when the shops are open.

Reminds me of this:



Though the fact that they use a hot dog instead of their actual hand makes me doubt their faith in their product.
I notice the hotdog has a tiny nick in it. Just a tiny nick is a whole lot better than a severed finger. But if they used a real finger for the ad, that tiny nick would bleed- not a lot at all, but it would still bleed. I'm guessing that since people respond strongly to blood, that even a little bit of blood would be off-putting for potential customers.
Just my 2 cents worth! :p

No, you're right, I'd noticed that and as Michelle said, I wouldn't put my finger in there.
And no actor would be too keen either.
