Another slight wrinkle in the plans

[cjsmith]

I was informed last night in no uncertain terms that if I become a veterinarian, in fact beginning from the moment I become a veterinary student, I am not to come home and discuss "What I Did Today" with rfrench. He doesn't even want to hear a highly-edited-and-sanitized verbal description of a picture in that sports medicine book.

*big dramatic sigh*

[In the spirit of full disclosure I must admit I keep looking at some of those photos in an attempt to wear down my OH NO ICK YIKES reaction.]

I have to admit - I'm with Rob on this one.

For what it's worth, I have a friend who is a NYC paramedic and he claims that he used to get light-headed at the sight of blood. Now he says that when he's in the moment - at an actual emergency - it doesn't bother him because he's so focused on what he needs to do that he really doesn't even notice the "ick" factor. On the other hand, he still can't watch them take blood from his own arm :-)

Heck, I'm with Rob on this one. I gotta, gotta, gotta get past this! At least there are many examples indicating that it can be done.
