Question: do you ever find some parts of your work disturbing as you work revolving around bodies and designing implants?

Hey!

Honestly, that kind of stuff doesn’t bother me too much these days – when I first started out it was a bit freaky though!
I can remember going into the dissection room at the University of Bristol – this is where people who want to become doctors learn about medicine by looking at human bodies (those people had donated their body to science) and I was a little frightened about what I would see. It was definitely weird, but once you get used to it then it’s not a big deal really – people even eat their lunch in the dissection room! There is nothing to fear from a dead body, and we always treat them with great respect.
