hat's the way professionals should act in such a situation. In any case, showing any feelings AFTER such an operation. Yes! Exactly! That's what they've been trained to do!
this musing about heaven and hell - at this wrong moment, when there is real hell around him Yes, that too. Although I think the bit you quote below isn't so much him musing as the author telling us what his life has been like. But still...

As long as he doesn't just vanish from the job entirely, I'm okay with this bit...
reading Kate MacLean - you don't like these guys, you don't even know them Ah, now we disagree over Kate MacLean too, I seem to remember... I adore her Pros stories! *g* And I'm also never thrown out of them by the sort of inconsistencies we see from Angelfish here...
