And she said, well, if you could become a volunteer police officer, that might do it.
So I did.
It's not the same as seeing it on the news or on TV or in photographs.
When you're actually in the presence of a room full of dead bodies, they're...
There's a weird energy.
I used to feel, you know, the morgue is all, I call it the morgue.
That's like calling Hollywood, you know, Hollywood when it's just a word that means a lot of things.
The autopsy suite, the medical examiner's facility.
But when you're in that autopsy suite with all those bodies, I used to, I used to get so tired.
I would get just so exhausted.
It's almost as if you felt like the dead were trying to suck the life out of you because they're there.
And then here's these living people are coming in and tending to them.
And most of these people, a lot of them have been traumatized.
They've been in car wrecks or they've been murdered or they've died all by themselves because they didn't have a doctor.
Most people that end up there, it's not a good thing.
It means something's happened that causes it to be a medical examiner's case.
I was stunned by how tired I would get.
When I would leave at the end of the day, I felt like someone had literally sucked the life out of me.
And a part of it, I'm sure, is my emotional shields of using a tremendous amount of energy not to let these things get to me while I'm standing there, because you're no good for anyone
if you let that get to you while you're there.
