Cc!l:t;e students find various weys
of earning spending money: frying bur
'gers, mixing drinks, even selling their
own plasma. But few can say they
enjoy their jobs because they "like the
blood and cuts."
' Dave Miller, 619 S. 20th St, can."
. Wilier, a senior at Nebraska Wes
leyan University, spends his spare time
assisting with autopsies at Lincoln
General Hospital
"I like the reality of it," he said.
There's too many people living in a
fantasy world and think death isnt a
part of life."
One might think Miller would like to
be a pathologist or a doctor. Although
Miller is a chemistry major, he said, the
medical field does not interest him.
Miller said his lack of interest stems
from knowing too many people who he
considers bad doctors.
"A few bad ones tarnish the entire
profession," he said.
Doctors aren't the only difficulties
that ccme with Miller's territory. There
are, obviously, the dead bodies. Miller
said being around dead people hasn't
been a problem because he thinks of
assisting with an autopsy as his job,
not as working on a person.
"People dont think they have the
stomach for it, but we cover up the
head and the groin and it's not a per
son anymore," he said.
Miller's job responsibilities include
setting up the surgical instruments,
measuring the body and hair length
and checking for bruises, cuts and
scars. If the autopsy hasnt been order
ed by the coroner, Miller does most of
the cutting on the body and removes
mot of the organs.
Although his professional attitude
may seem a bit hardened at work
(where he and his co-workers ioke
'Vou can't hurt a dead person, )
Miller said. he thinks differently about
it in his off-duty hours.
. "I want to get out of it," he said. "I m
starting to have a little compassion for
people and I'm starting to let it bother
,me." , ,
Miller will graduate in May and plans
to go to graduate school to, study
chemistry. He said he does not plan to
continue working in autopsy rooms.
Miller also works at Bryan Memorial
Hospital as a phlebotomist, drawing
blood from patients. It may have been
at Bryan that Miller developed his
compassion.
The worst part I had was drawing
someone's blood at Bryan on a week
end, then I'd be cutting the same per
son open on the next weekday," he
said.
However, Miller's compassion wont
prevent him from doing his job, even if
the patient is an old acquaintance. .
"If it was, I'd probably pretend I
didn't know the person," he said. "Once
I thought I recognized a person as an
old friend of my family, but I never
considered leaving the autopsy because
ofit."
If Miller seems dedicated, it's not
because his job will further his chemis
try career, although most of his co
workers do this type of work to com
plete their resumes. What Miller has
gained is different.
"It's given me stories," he said.
