You ever have one of those moments where you feel profoundly touched by something? I went to a fire station earlier today for a field trip for driver's ed. Anyways, the guy put on this movie and for about twenty minutes they just flashed through pictures of car accidents and severed bodies and afterwards he was talking and telling us stories and my eyes got kinda watery and I can usually handle these things, but after the first bloody slide, I couldn't watch anymore. I've been thinking about this all day long and I don't know how well I'm going to sleep tonight.

OH yeah, we had a guy come into our bioligy class from the hospital and show us slides of things he has to deal with, like shotgun wounds and stuff. Some of it was pretty cool. Like a guy had his whole chest blown off almost and still lived.

This was the real thing on real streets that I've driven down. The guy kept on mentioning people that went to our school years ago too that he knew and it kinda hit a soft spot that I didn't know was even there. I mean, everyone knows that car accidents happen but do you really stop to think that it could be you. It sounds so cheesy when I say it but it was some tough stuff to take in, we saw everything through the eyes of a fire fighter and I realized that I can't ever do anything that involved bloody bodies.

Yeah, it is a sad realization. I guess you just gotta sit back and really think about things like that some time. You'll get through it ;)

so basically you haven't been through much de-sensitation, is that it?

after a while, you don't feel much... it happens with people who have lots of experience in the field that would give a normal person the "shock" value..

thats just how it is i guess...

Pictures and Dead Bodies in hospitals don't bother me as much as the actual situation as it is happening.. like if i was in the middle of it.. Example: if I got into an accident, even if it wasn't my fault, and the other driver is totally splattered on the canvas of the road, and i managed to be ok... that would mess me up.. just because of the lack of understanding as to what happened at that split moment it took place, and then the realization comes in, but the shock stays for a while..
