Just not enough confidence in myself. I worked in doctors offices and in the hospital. In the states, the fire dept. is not a place for a lady. The language and inter mingling, if you know what I mean, is quite bad. I would love to watch surgery. I watch all the surgery shows on TV, actually all the medical shows. It is fascinating to me what you can learn. Have you ever seen Body Worlds. It is neat to be able to see what we are made of and how our bodies work. |

I went into theatres too, its a very different world in there, very strange. Interesting though. |

I always thought that watching an autopsy would be interesting. I've got several books on the human body. One is just like Body Worlds. It shows a cadaver sliced in mm's through all the systems. Love your new avatar. Krissy will be jealous! LOL |
