Ever since I started talking, I wanted to be a heart surgeon. I read tons of books and watched hours of youtube videos about heart surgery, some of which were so graphic, that they made my mother pass out.
Later I got interested in networking, Linux, and systems programming, and this is my current job. The tons of graphic videos with blood, etc. increased my tolerance to nasty injuries pretty drastically. I was a bystander to a few very serious car crashes and I had no problem helping the survivors with incredibly awful injuries until the paramedics came, so I guess at least something positive came from it.
