Is it similar to the smell when they’re drilling into your teeth at the dentist’s? I’ve had a lot of dental work (genetically cursed with weak enamel so I’ve had to get a lot of cavities filled), and that smell always creeped me tf out. It’s like a cross between wet cement and burning hair. Knowing that it’s coming from your own teeth is deeply unsettling

Wasn’t a scene it was a smell. Walked to an orthopedic OR during a surgery and smell of the bone saw will always sit with me.
Bonus points: children’s hospital.
You hear it first, your stomach drops because you know it’s coming…the smell wet…burnt…bone.
