Nah, it's a good rewarding job.Trinigordo:This seems like the worst damn job guys. Why suffer through all this trauma for what seems like a job that just deals with deaths, do you guys actually get to save people as well?
Whats the reason you took this job?
PWCPD Diver:When I was a rookie (20 years ago) the first few got to me. Kids still get to me. But after time you learn to tune some of it out.
When youre working on a person, trying to save their life and they die they may very well take a part of you with them. That isnt quite the case with what we do.Trinigordo:But is tuning that tragedy out a good thing, my high school biology tutor just became a surgeon and his words were "Every patient that dies on my table, takes a piece of me with them" Doesn't this tuning out harden a person?
Well screw it, I am just glad you guys find this rewarding because it is very necessary and I know I couldn't be the one doing it, so for what it is worth, take a little bit of gratitude for doing the job.
