I think I would actually pass out if I saw that. This is why I am not in the medical field.

Tell me about it. Mad respect to those people.
I once dropped a thick plate on the ground and it shattered. A large chunk of the ceramic literally slice a (roughly) 1.5 inch x 0.5 inch chunk of flesh out of my calf. There was so much blood. I could literally see the two sides of the cut flapping around like lips when I tried to walk. I passed out about a minute later.

I can relate to that, but I actually don't think I would pass out. I think I'm afraid I will pass out, but I won't be too freaked out. I got into a cycling accident (car hit me and my ankle was stuck between the car and my bike), I fell on my side and I had an open fracture. I saw blood on the ground, then saw my foot at a wrong angle with my leg and decided not to look because I didn't want to faint. I'm pretty sure from the look of people around me that it was very ugly to see, but now I almost regret not looking. When I got my cast taken off I didn't really want to look at the scar at first, but it turned out to be okay. Now I look at it every day and it doesn't gross me out, so I don't see why it would have grossed me out back then...
