I've seen some of its training methods and it is intense. While I am sure the first time is always a shock, their training seems to kick in despite the blood and gore.

So even if you get the screaming, writhing, blood spurting and (above all, the smell) what you're missing is the knowledge that it's a real person. Now don't get me wrong, practice is great. In a 'real' crisis, the practice definitely helps you to know what you're doing. But in the real world, it's never the same as in the simulation lab.
