Some people just get too blasé about it. I have told off an intern about it a couple of years ago, and I've experienced it far too often.
No, no, that's perfectly OK. I had a very good friend back then and we were often riding together. One day we were called to a body decomposing in the summer heat and he said: "Any riper and we could have buttered our breads with him". We both laughed. I think, there are some things in life you couldn't bear when letting them too close.
What I said above was about the contrast. You know, the door was open and you could see these people being devasted in the corridor. And they could see what was going on inside.
Yeah, that's just heartless and ridiculous in front of the family.
Dying to live, living to die.
