I guess doctors become immune to feelings of sympathy , they are dealing with illnesses day in and day out. In a similar way nurses can become seemingly unsympathetic and matter of fact , when on the wards, as they have to just get on with the job and hide their feelings sometimes. But it doesn't mean they don't get upset inside. What used to upset me working on the wards, was if a patient died in the night without anyone with them.
