My brother in law is an emergency Dr, and it's been really interesting to have a window into his world. The pressure he is under is astounding. I know they are supposed to be "detached" but I don't think it's possible in practice; he has people's lives in his hands every day.

He's generally quite private about the emotional impact of his job, but I'll tell you this: I'm willing to bet a TV repairman doesn't go to a dinner party after work and weep about a Zenith he couldn't save.
