Many, Many, Many of them. I have been a nurse for 13 years. I was completely creeped out at the first deceased lady I saw. I had to do post-mortem care on her. (remove tubes, bathe her, position her, etc.) It is something you really hope to NEVER see but in this profession, well, self explanatory. It seems to get "easier" for lack of a much better term. You have to kindof "distance" yourself emotionally and remember that death is a part of life. ALL of us will die. I dislike "post-mortem" care, but I will always treat their body as if it were a dear relative. I hope all medical personel do that. Rigomortis sets in pretty quick, so you have to be quite fast at the clean up after the family is out of the room obviously. I have seen many docs "pronounce" patients dead. Part of the job requirements. Hope you haven't seen one or want to. Watching someone die bothers me ALOT more than caring for a body. Thats my 2 cents.

only at funerals. i've seen 3 dead people total. i've also seen someone in a 'vegetative' state which is basicly dead only kept alive by feeding and breathing tubes.

Yes, besides the many friends and relatives I have seen at funerals, I found 2 boyfriends, one just last Feb of '06, dead from illness. Curious, I just realized they both died on one of my couches -different ones of course, I threw both of them out after that.

When I was four my aunt had an open-casket funeral. I didn't even know she was dead, I thought it was a wedding. And I saw her and knew she was a relative but I didn't know who she was and I wondered why she was sleeping. I remember how she looked too... maybe it was just because I was a child and childeren see everything through rose-colored lenses but I thought she was beautiful.
