There is a difference between desensitizing yourself and learning how to distance yourself. My mom has worked in the ER for over 35 years and has seen every kind of horrific injury there is to see.

Yeah, I suppose that's true. I think I have a problem with the way my professor is so cold and clinical about it all (and even makes jokes)! I think that it would have been OK if before we began talking about homicides she had given us a 'come to Jesus' talk or some sort of pep talk about how to handle it. It's just odd. I always leave that class feeling unsatisfied and uneasy.
