I joined an app where medical professionals discuss cases and accidentally stayed up way too late seeing things that will haunt me forever. I have never been so glad that I can't become a physician. Yep. Clerical and radiological is where I'm meant to be. I've seen a man carry his liver. I've seen a man with necrosis of the leg. But I ain't never seen stuff like this site. Holy traumatic imagery.
On the plus side I'm learning so much more than I've ever learned...but goodness gracious

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I couldn't be a surgeon.
I don't have problems with blood, insides, wounds, etc. but have an aversion to causing harm (cutting into someone), even to save a life.
I don't know what it is about it, since I have NO problem using needles, knives, etc. to dig out a splinter from my own self.

I can handle a lot. I've seen sooooo much. However oddly enough fecal matter and vomit is what does me in, and similar smells. We had a guy in our e.r. that shit himself. Not because of anything wrong he just never learned not to shit himself. Anyway that was bad enough I puked in my office, which made me puke more. But I can see a guy holding his severed foot and want to poke it.

It's not the actual cutting that bothers me (I've watched that), it is "me doing the cutting i.e. harm" that I'm adverse to.
Something in my past I can't remember is causing this, I'm sure.
A friend worked for the UK Faculty of Public health processing submitted papers. She told me never to look up "degloving injury" - That's advice I should have taken
