Gross Anatomy
You're interpreting in a high school science class, and they're dissecting cats today. You can't help but think about your own little "Fluffy" at home as the students start pulling out various organs. You're starting to get upset.
An Interpreter's Perspective:
If you can stomach it, hang in there. Maintain eye contact and avoid looking at the dissection if you can. Don't get caught off guard next time. Check over the class syllabus for future lesson plans that may be difficult for you to handle.
A Deaf Consumer's Perspective:
Interpreters aren't machines; they're human beings with feelings. I completely understand where the interpreter is coming from. Take a quick break for a drink of water, and when you've calmed down, finish the job. Afterwards, race home and hug your cat!
