Frankly, when I'm on the spot and someone is injured I'm usually pretty steady - I think I don't have enough time to do anything but deal with the situation at hand.

But some photos, some descriptions...Atul Gawande in his book Complications talks about a botched central line insertion and that chapter was very hard to read. I passed out watching a video of in vitro fertilization (just the needle and the egg, no blood or anything) once. It's probably mostly in my head.
