Do they bother you at all? I work around them a lot at my job and it doesn't bother me at all, at least that I can tell.
What do you think?

I think working with dead people would be less painful than working with dying people.

I eat them! The taste of rotting flesh and chloroform is like a bouquet of fantastic flavors. You should try it!

I found a dead body in Zion NP when i worked there. Hiker caught by flash flood in the Narrows. Kind of weird to be sitting there by it waiting for people to show up to work the recovery. Dispatch needed to know if it was the right person, so they asked us to describe any tattoos. He was half-buried in the sand, so i volunteered to man the radio while the other guy dug out his arm and described the tattoo. Wasn't really grossed out or disturbed by it, more concerned that the clouds were building over the area at the time. At the time I was reminded of the scene from Stand by Me. "you guys want to see a dead body?"

I had to take a few rounds of slab lab when I was in school. Bother me, no. But man the formalin fumes made me hungry! I was the one standing over the cadaver chowing down like there was no tomorrow, cracking foi gras jokes when we came to the liver. I wasn't the most popular student in that class...

I guess that since I'm a history student, I work around dead people a lot too.

As a Fireman I work around dead and dying people all the time. I don't usually have a problem with it. Sometimes when you see Brain's smeared all over the street that's not much fun. But you can defusion the situation well by saying something like, "hey can you see what was on his mind?"

one of my best friends is in med school and was telling me about her anatomy class, apparently the formalin (if thats what they use here too) simultaneously makes you sleepy and hungry, and one guy apparently nearly fell asleep into the chest cavity. Someone grabbed him in time, fortunately for him.

I know a guy who works for the ambulance service. It's amazing how nonchalante they are: "I just had my first triple decapitation!!!"

**Don't read if you've got a weak stomach, decriptive story of dead person follows**
____________________________________________
I found a dead guy that had OD'd on heroin. It was summer. It was hot. He'd been there for a while. He was all bloated and had flies coming out of his mouth and nose. It was so bad, I couldn't even tell the race of the guy, he was purple mostly.
In one hand he held a syringe the other a spoon. The Medical Examiner had the nerve to ask me if there were in his hands when I found him. Yeah, like, I'm going to stick them there, right.

When I was a little kid I idolized my Dad, I loved to go see him at work... Dad just happened to be a pathologist. Cadavers (and various parts thereof) were part of Dad's job and therefore COOL. "Can I watch you cut that brain up Dad?"..."Can I watch the autopsy Dad?"... fun fun fun! The only ones that ever bothered me were the ones they pulled out of LA harbor, floaters are yucky. We are meat, plain and simple.
Seeing the dead, no sweat... seeing a death, whole different story.

i volunteered in a hospital for awhile and got to see a few dead bodies, which wasn't too tramatic.
but when my grandmother died, and i was a paul bearer and sat directly in front of the open casket, i was horribly disturbed.

I have worked in the fire service for the past 26 years and have seen more dead people than I can remember. Generally it doesn’t bother me but sometimes it does. A couple of days ago we had 7 and 10 yr old sisters skateboard down their driveway into the street in front of a pickup truck. The driver swerved to avoid them hitting the 7 yr old putting her in ICU at Portland because they could manage her injuries better than the local hospitals. The truck then tipped over onto its side crushing the 10 yr old. She was in agonal respirations when we arrived on scene. I could go on about the other children I have carried out of burning houses, some dead, some alive to die in a few days. I have a daughter who is 16, sometimes I think of her when I am on one of these calls. Yeh, sometimes being around dead people isn’t a nice thing.

I have actaully seen a dead person before....well their body and all....in a cofin. I just thought that it was nothing because according to Budhist religion the soul has gone on to a purer land to achieve nirvana.

Me and dead people have an agreement. They don't come back to life and try to eat my brains. And I don't shoot them while spouting cheesy cliches.
it really works out nicely.
