Fortunately she had quite the grim sense of humour to help her deal with the cases she worked on.
Unfortunately, even a sense of humour doesn't protect you from PTSD when dealing with this sort of stuff, particularly on a daily basis. I recently listened to the audio book version of Dr Richard Shepherd's "Unnatural Causes" [1]. It's all very fascinating, and he's clearly passionate about his work while also providing a great service to society as a whole but as becomes clear, it has also affected his mental health and family life.
