Yep, I was an arson investigator later in my career. Not pretty. You do develop a callus and just do what you've trained to do without paying attention to what was going on.

It has paid dividends in odd ways. Encountered a medical emergency at a local grocery store where everybody (including the manager who should have known better) was standing around gaping at the unfortunate victim and doing nothing. Was able to get things moving thank goodness.

I don’t know if that is reprehensible or Post of the Thread. Maybe both.
