Question:
Any medical doctors/students around here?
How do you deal with the blood 'n' guts 'n' grossness factor in medicine? I'm considering medical school, but...I've got a weak stomach.
Answers:
The first time I had clinical exposure, I almost passed out when I was in the ER at the sight of a stab wound. Then I did not go back for a few months. The medical school curriculum is geared so that you gradually become desensitised to blood, smells and other stuff so your stomach gets better and tolerant to those problems without realizing it.
