Desensitization to grossness

I finally saw the movie Contagion, which is about the the human response to a viral epidemic in its first days and weeks. Fascinating movie. Fairly realistic, too, according to one expert. Without spoiling the movie, there was one graphic autopsy scene during which the whole audience groaned in disgust. I chuckled to myself at the dramatization and realized how far I've come through my medical education in the process of desensitizing myself to sights and experiences that would make most people queasy.
