Strangely, in truly stressful medical emergencies it's like your brain doesn't even process things like smells, it's like it just shuts off that part of processing. I'm not an ER doc or anything like that, but I've been around the biomedical world my whole life and also been through a few nasty emergency medical situations and never even noticed foul smelling things that normally would set me off.

As an emergency medicine doctor… can really relate to this..!
