I have a good friend with what I feel are disgusting medical issues that keeps updating me on them, I know how you feel :-(
Yep, she does that too sometimes. I can usually get her to stop with the nasty medical descriptions just by saying, "Yuck, that's gross. Can we change the topic?" Then if she suggests that I'm hypersensitive, I repeat what she said back to her and say I'm fairly certain that most people would find that gross.
