Why did Watson not want to look at the dead body?


i recall a scene where Watson turned away. he's a doctor so it shouldn't have been a big deal to him

I believe the deal with him is not how the corpse looked, but how it got there. He can't stomach that such brutality could occur in a non-war area. If this was a battlefield or an accident he could understand. But a murder, no.
