For some, blood and gore are all part of a day's work.

"Who would wanna watch a show about my job?" That's the question Dr Gary Telgenhoff asked after he'd been approached by Anthony Zuiker to act as a consultant on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation before the show began. "He came over to the area where I was working on the bodies, and he was insatiable," the forensic pathologist explained to the Columbia Missourian while speaking at William Woods University earlier this week. Telgenhoff continues to work as a consultant for CSI and enjoys his second job.

Becoming a crime scene investigator isn't as easy as it seems to be on television, Telgenhoff revealed. "You have to learn every disease known to man," he explained. "It's a lot of stuff to know, but if I can do it, anybody can do it." It took him nine years of schooling to become a forensic pathologist: four years of college, four years in medical school and an extra year for training.

The job also requires more from those who plan to tackle it, and it can't all be learned in school. Telgenhoff said that he has to have a strong stomach, and he also has to be strong enough to resist political pressure. "It's something I have to fight every day," Telgenhoff continued. He pointed out that he enjoys his job but that it's not right for everyone. "I like what I do," he explained. "(But) people like me are rare."

The original article is from the Columbia Missourian.

Why can't the CSIs get dates?

	All work and no play makes Greg a blue boy.
	It probably has something to do with the fact that every time Horatio Caine has sex with a woman, she dies.
	Shower sex loses its allure when there's lemons involved.
	These people collect body fluids for a living. Then again, if David the coroner can get laid...
	They can get dates, I bet. We just don't see it.
	Three words: Hank the Skank.
