<human>: Okay, relatively young person here(17), and a lurker of Reddit for a while up until recently. Post high school I knew what I wanted to do was become an EMT, as helping people in every day situations is one of my passions. However, ever since I was aware of death I've always had one nagging thought in my head. In the medical field, you see people die all the time. Sometimes in horribly gruesome ways. I'm no stranger to it - Reddit has no small amount of the gross examples - yet my mind couldn't fathom the idea of actually witnessing death occur before my very eyes. I always told myself, should the day come where I see someone die... I would loose my innocence.  It may seem cheesy, but that's how it feels. On one hand I want to help people and save them, but on the other there is the tad feeling of apprehension when getting into this.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: Medics of Reddit, how do you cope with death? What was it like the first time you witnessed death on the job? EMT hopeful here, and I want to follow through.
