I love to see stuff like this. It is a part of life (no pun intended) and
is serves as a shocking reminder to me to realize what I am dealing with.
It is like the matchbox size car on the side of the road that some
agency/entity placed there to wake us up as to what can happen if we are
even slightly careless.

The media doesn't want us to see it because they live in a different and
perfect universe than I.

There is no such thing as 'closure'. There is such a thing as folly when
counseling students to make them not
'feel'. Hell, feeling is a part of life. Grief and joy are unique to us
animals.

I'm not sure that being beaten to death around a rotating axle is
anyone's idea of "doing what they like". I was first on scene as an EMT
to a farmer who had got himself caught in his tractor's PTO shaft. Only
thing I could "do for him" was to pull the killswitch on the tractor,
and wait for the coroner to take over the scene. About the same as the
lathe accident in question, more or less, at least in end result. Only
good thing about the scene, I guess, is that I didn't need to notify the
family that he couldn't be helped.

That sucked. A lot. Roll up your sleeves, guys.
