The doctor is not cold. He is a human being and obviously feels for the parents of the victims but it would be extremely unprofessional to go up there and start showing his emotions.

[@Seekthetruth.Dontfollowblindly]

You can tell by the doctors demeanor he's trying very hard to compose himself. You can tell this is very hard on him.

[@Gurl-5150]

Considering that it could EASILY cause a mistrial, then his BEST EFFORT to control his emotions is the most respectful thing that he could possibly do for the victims AND their families. People can be so dense sometimes.

[@itsonlysound]

You can see the compassion in his eyes when he looks at the pictures, but the only way he can help is to do his job and remain as detached as possible. He wouldn't last long in his job and therefore wouldn't be able to help people if he didn't.

[@seeingheaven2]

I’ve read a few comments about Dr. Osbournes’ demeanor, and feeling that he seems a little “cold” when describing the injuries. Medical providers, whose job it is to deal with trauma/death day-in and day-out, definitely develop the ability to disassociate from their emotions. They couldn’t do their jobs if they didn’t. People having anxiety, shock, and stress reactions have difficulty thinking clearly. In these particular professions, we desperately need those among us who can put these emotions aside temporarily to do these very necessary jobs. These people, like anyone else exposed to violence in a society, do take all of this with them however. All of the witnessed trauma and violence to human beings, big and small, creates a type of PTSD that each deals with in their own way. The brutality of our world is an astonishing thing, and these dedicated professionals act as it’s witness.

Having a professional interest in this area of science and medicine is not morbid.

The doctor is amazing. I can see in his eyes he bears emotions and empathy for the parents, but you can't hear it and you can't see it from his body language. He is very professional and that's what I imagine the parents wants. They are going through enough pain as it is, imagine watching a professional break down that has dealt with death so many times.

I appreciate the professionalism of the doctor. I can see he was masterfully covering them, but the emotions are there. That is clearly a man who cares very much about his job, and is ensuring that his testimony is as thorough and respectful as possible to get justice for these victims. Checking on his notes for accuracy is already important, but the fact that he ensured it was acceptable to refer to them each time - he wanted to be sure nobody had room to say anything about it later. He is a man covering his bases and taking his job so seriously. He has my respect.

The data about the mentally ill demonstrates that they are actually less likely to be violent than the general population. I know this because I got my first degree in Public Health. The debate on mass shootings gets twisted around mental illness to stop any legislation that would limit profitable sales of high-powered weapons favored by abusers/mass shooters. I'd say that makes the U.S. legislature mentally ill.

@@Hippie_chic_at_heart I wouldn't make that assumption. Just because you occupy a certain role does not mean you are unaffected by the natural human emotions that come with it. For certain people/in certain fields detachment might make things easier, but for others, caring and being passionate about what you do is what keeps you going. Detachment may not even be possible. First responders, coroners, medical care providers, this judge and people involved in the trial will all experience trauma at work and don't choose these careers because they're somehow above it. For example, my sister is a nurse and is affected by what she sees every day. She just makes a very intentional effort to seek supports for herself to deal with it and continue. She became a nurse because she cares and is passionate about providing care, not because being surrounded by people dying and in pain every day doesn't bother her. The people who occupy these roles can be professional and committed without being "fine" with everything. Everyone needs compassion and support, even (and especially!)if they've chosen to do what they know is going to be difficult, traumatic work.

I'm a medical professional and we are definitely trained to separate our emotions from our profession. Early in my career I learned this the hard way after having preemie drug babies die on me.

[@ange1mom438]

Over my years as a nurse I can agree with your explanation, unfortunately my experiences over the years eventually caused a burnout and I left nursing. I think there comes a point in time when it’s no longer possible to separate the emotions. That’s the time to walk away and take some time for self care. I had to leave the career I loved for my own health and the health and safety of the patients I cared for. I admire and respect the health care professionals who care for patients in traumatic circumstances every day and a deeper respect for those who have to recall those traumas accurately in testimony. It’s got to be the most difficult thing to recall especially with family and friends listening to that testimony. The last thing a medical professional wants to do is disclose traumatic information that will cause distress to family. The M.E has a difficult task to disclose important information tactfully, yet truthfully and completely. I imagine it’s somewhat traumatic for them also. This M.E is a consummate professional. Not cold and detached, just a dignified professional doing credit to his job and no doubt dreading sharing the details in court. This trial is heartbreaking for me I cannot comprehend what the families are going through.

They are unbelievably strong for remaining in that room, where the murderer of their child, while they hear, how their child suffered & died.

Obviously those who commented this, are young, or fortunate enough to not have felt the horrible pain of loosing someone. Another said, they feel no empathy for someone “they don’t know, or knew existed”, & basically called me exhaustingly, & needlessly “emotional”.

My brother is a Forensic Medical Examiner for 13 years. I have a tight bond with him and I can say that he changed just a year fr working in the morgues and hospitals. He rarely talks about the deaths his worked on due to confidentiality probably but when he does, he talks vaguely and seemed to not be bothered by the scene he was just at. However, during his first few months, he would come home mortified, spaced out, or I'd often see him drink water more often than when he's just at home, not working. All I'm saying is that Dr. Osbournes' demeanor is completely normal for me. Watching my brother over the years, I feel like he got used to sucking up whatever he's feeling, no matter how mortifying the scenes he's seen -- he got used to it that he now talks like it just doesn't bother him at all --- otherwise, he'd long quit his job.

This ME has my respect and I appreciate all persons in the medical field that can keep themselves composed and professional. Also, the ones who say he’s cold, he’s testifying 4 YEARS AFTER this tragedy happened! That’s 4 years to compose himself. I’m sure the days and nights after doing all those autopsies for those innocent souls were some of the worst he’s had to go through. Plus after doing over 2500 autopsies, I’m pretty sure he has a way to deal/heal with what he sees. God bless him and all medical professionals that have to see, find out a diagnosis, and give the news to the families of loved ones that they have treated. 🙏💕

It is certainly very brutal for the parents of the deceased people to hear, but they do not have to remain there, they can step out, if it is too much. It is necessary to understand, precisely how each person died, so that if there will be no doubt as to why the Death Penalty has been imposed, if it has been imposed.

That is why there should be more security at schools! Why should parents allow their children to be placed in an institution, that doesn’t protect the children, as their own parents would? Schools have a duty of care, and if that means having to pay for security, in this day and age, then so be it! This is why I would homeschool my children, because they are not always safe at school. There was absolutely nothing that the teachers could do, as there were no security personnel to protect the children and staff! All schools should have many security personnel, subsidised by the government, and these security people should be armed, and trained to take out an evil person, hellbent on eliminating everyone in his sights. Because there is so much violence in today’s society, and even though, this is an unusually heinous incident, there have been too many of these types of acts, that have happened.
