I couldn't help myself. I had to look at all of those injuries. As someone who works alongside an orthopaedic surgeon in an emergency room and who deals with this kind of thing on a regular basis, I'm surprised how those pictures still made me cringe. It's very odd. I think I have some kind of conditioned response to looking at gross stuff online. Or maybe I simply pull myself together when the scared, injured person is standing next to me.

I wonder if anyone else in the medical field experiences this too?
