Slaughterhouse workers have very high rates of PTSD and depression. Healthcare workers who deal with death are also psychologically impacted.

Can't speak to the others.

I'd say getting PTSD and depression working in a slaughterhouse, or dealing with death as a healthcare worker only proves the point? It's a correct sane reaction.

I'd agree there. I personally interepreted the "some people aren't squeamish" comment to imply that the people in these professions are immune from negative psychological consequences of being those professions.
