You also have to not be bothered being in close proximity to human blood, rotting flesh, faeces & other disgusting, often smelly, matter. My sister is a forensic pathologist & loves her job... But then I remember when we were kids she used to pick her nose, wipe the snot on her bedside table, wait till it went hard, then chisel it off with her fingernails & only then use a tissue to sweep it up & throw it out. She'll go home after a bad decomp case, whack some ribs on & eat without showering.
