As a former EMT, I worked on dead people, brought them back & watched them die again. It was sad but you went on with your business as usual afterward. I wasn't changed by death until it was my dad. Once you see the person you always looked up to for strength and support lying motionless on a bed, knowing you will never talk to him again, that is something you never forget.
