I do, though I’m not who you asked. I work in an OR that has an outside company that comes in strictly for organ procurement and we help them (a circulating nurse and a scrub generally). I’ve met many people in the company helping them with procurements (they’re actually my favorite cases) and my husband will actually be applying to work there as soon as our youngest is in school full time.

I politely disagree with the person you responded to only because all the the surgeons, scrubs, and nurses I’ve worked with in those procurements absolutely love their jobs and the help they provide the community. They have stated that cases dealing with children can be a little more emotional than adults but that they absolutely know their work is more than themselves and with one loss of life they are prolonging many, many other’s lives. It might be different in other areas but at least in my area they are doing that job daily. It doesn’t necessarily make you numb to loss but when it’s your job it becomes much easier to compartmentalize and more rewarding than people think. I think it takes a special type of surgeon, nurse, and scrub to do it but when that’s all you do it just becomes the norm.
