This makes me wonder how surgeons and morticians manage. Surely something must be done for them too.
- taneq 7y agoDunno about surgeons, but first responders absolutely do get PTSD from repeated exposure to horrible things.
- SolaceQuantum 7y agoPitch black humor and medical school training to dissociate appropriately from the patient. But it's still very difficult, psychologically.
- raverbashing 7y agoFor "regular occurrences" I think surgeons just abstract it (as it's part of their job) but as the sibling comment, them, and first responders can get PTSD in some occasions. Medical School does some job of filtering those who can abstract it from the ones who can't (I'm sure I wouldn't be a good fit)
