I've always wondered how doctors and surgeons deal with blood and gore. Are you guys already OK with that kind of stuff or did you have to become consistently exposed? I don't really get affected from movies or pictures of real life photos of some injuries. But I am volunteering this fall at a program for premed students that exposes you to the ER and OR, so I don't know how I will react when I see it in real life. I'm scared of the possibility that medicine may not be for me because I may not be able to handle it. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions?
Thanks
i heard after two weeks of dissecting dead bodies in med school you get used to it
I've seen An Inconvenient Truth so many times that I'm desensitized to it by now. Gore just doesn't get me excited anymore. I still thought he should have run for president again.
I've always wondered how doctors would feel about seeing their own innards as compared to the innards of other people.
