    Good grief! You know…upon further reflection, it almost looks like one of those pieces of “art” that monkeys or elephants make.

    First impression: the floor of Cold Slab Creamery (an ice cream parlor) with wastage of the cherry and pineapple toppings.

    Sometimes, first impressions can be incorrect.

    Grunt Doc: Can you remember a time when the sight of blood seemed unusual or upsetting? (Not just a picture, not just on TV) I’m asking because I’m not sure I can remember.

    I can remember that one of the reasons I decided not to go into surgery was that I always got very hungry during abdominal surgery standing there holding a retractor and watching some person’s internal organs.

    Greg,
    when I was first doing EMT training, I vivdly recall leaning against a wall with cold sweat running down my back, watching the suturing of a wound about 2 inches long. And it wasn’t even bleeding much. As with all things, experience changed all that.

    I must say that surgery never had that peckish effect on me, it just made me bored and sleepy.
