Everyone who goes into the field is eased into the smell and the sight of decaying/mutilated bodies. It fascinates me. Obviously it isn't something people just take a liking to in one moment. It takes time. Medical Examiners go through 10+ years of schooling. I will only be doing 3.5 years. I will only be transporting bodies to the M.E. and providing information and photos of the body (at the place of death) to the M.E. to help them determine manner and cause of death. I probably will have to sit in for a few autopsies. I am nervous about that because you never how queasy you are until it happens. Even Medical Examiners with years of experience get nauseous with some of the patients they autopsy because they experience things that they never have before. You can die in so many ways. Very interesting.</p></blockquote><p></p>
