Good article. When I was in Hospital Corps school I was proud that I could watch a surgery film without feeling repulsed. When I started treating trauma in Vietnam, I was too numb to feel anything. Better to know how you naturally feel, and accept it. Feelings you hold down, deliberately or not may come to haunt you, such as in my case with nightmares of bodies falling off a cliff and being unable to help, or having to get through trauma by crawling out of a dark place over dead bodies.
It would have been better to share feelings rather than drink them under the table.
