You get used to that. At the beginning it might bother you a bit, but 
especially after you've made a few correct calls, and saved lives as a 
result, it starts getting easier. 

It also makes it easier to prepare psychologically for the occasional 
mistakes you WILL make, being just another working joe not unlike somebody 
who does accounting, for example. Except your mistakes can cost lives.
