As I nurse, I see a lot of things. I experience sights, sounds, smells...
I admit though, I have an "Achilles Heel."
No matter how bad the injury or illness, how much blood, the color of (insert bodily fluid here), what the odor is, or the grossest thing you can ever imagine... I have probably seen it, experienced it, and dealt with it.
Yet, the one thing, that will bring me to my knees...
Is a sore throat.
I will curl up into a ball, sleep, drink my Sprite and Gatorade, eat my pretzels, take ibuprofen till my kidneys scream at me, and just wait for it to pass...
I can handle cough, congestion, headaches, fevers, NV&D, aches, just about everything that a human body experiences! A sore throat though...
My worst enemy! As it knows how to defeat me!
