An employee of mine used to be a paramedic. He said is was very common to for men to die at their computers w/ their pants around their ankles. I guess that counts as dying while working...

I couldn't be a paramedic. Too much sadness. Being an oncologist has to be brutal, too.

Most people only find it brutal because they're not accustomed to it and like to ignore the sad realities, even in their own lives. Most people can get used to it.
