Could sleeping too long be a symptom of some disorder, or is it a kind of norm?
Let me explain: one of the family members is constantly waking up with difficulty, and if you do not wake him up, he can easily sleep for 9-10 hours (conditionally from 1 am to 11 am).
Answer 1
January, 2021In fact, the work of a pathologist is much more "multifaceted" than it seems at first glance. These people are first-class diagnosticians, because already those who have seen enough of the results of misdiagnosis and wrong treatment - they are. In addition, they are engaged in histological studies, it is they who are sent the materials taken during the biopsy. In general, no mental deviation. A very worthy and necessary profession. And according to statistics, psychopaths most often prefer the following professions: civil servants, chefs, clergymen, journalists, police officers, surgeons, lawyers and leadership positions

January, 2021And actually, why did we talk about rejection at all? What's so special about morgues?
You are aware that for many people, the body of a deceased person does not have any specific features that give this very body any special meaning.
Lord, this is just a morgue, it's just corpses.

January, 2021By the will of fate, I have the opportunity to communicate with pathologists / forensic experts and they express different versions of why medical students go to this area. There are two categories - those who purposefully choose a specialization and those who come here by accident, without bothering too much. In fact, the people who work in the morgue have a slightly different view of life. Most of the people I dealt with were calm, funny and terribly slow people. As for deviations, I can't say anything about their presence, but the fact that people are specific is a fact. Once in the room I saw a young trainee who was helping the expert prepare the inventory. When I asked how she got here, she replied that she was interested in what people die from, how the body works and what careless / dangerous human actions can lead to.
