Jeez, the level of stoicism, emotional detached-ness the hospital workers must master. I also imagine they would delegate the task to someone else so it’s not like the doctor is throwing fetus in the trash, he delegates it to someone else who does not have all the information and does not know what they’re disposing of. Less emotionally traumatizing for everybody that way.
i imagine cremating fetusses is one of the lesser emotionally traumatizing things hospital workers have to deal with every day.
Also, if the fetus is big enough to be (near) viable and the abortion happens for medical reasons or in case of stillbirths, I hope/expect parents are given the option for a proper burial.
I find the most effective way of handling grisly work like that is emotionally embracing the function of what you’re doing. You can care for the lives of the deceased and love your work without having to play stoic mindfuck games with yourself.
Alternatively, many drink. Or reduce humanity in their minds to a state of matter. Vulnerability is hard and most employers will only exploit it anyway
