I must admit my job wouldn't suit everyone as I'm employed as a Pathologists assistant and also work in the mortuary of a local hospital. The thing that really gets to me is the fact that people think I must be odd to do such a job. A pathologists assistant is a job like any other, you go to work, do what is required and then come home.
I try to explain that someone has to do it, and since I have now as I've done it for years it doesn't bother me in the least. The job itself is clinically done and there's nothing ghoulish about it in any way whatsoever.
If for instance I'm in a company and my job comes under discussion, there's always the same questions i.e. what happens to any artificial hip joints or pace makers, are they removed and used again? I suppose its only human curiosity really.
It would be interesting to know if anyone else has experienced this kind of thing due to the nature of their job or their profession.
