I was just wondering if Doctors need to be good mathematicians? I'm a premedical student and not really good at math. Your advice is appreciated.
i hated math in high school and my 1st semester of college. I was afraid it will lower my GPA if i fail it. Anyone have an idea what to do to get over the fear?

Holy mother of necro-bumps! I didn't even notice until you pointed that out.I was 9 years old when this thread started... very impressive grave digging.
Here's the deal, you'll probably want to keep taking mathematics upto calculus I, II, and even differential equations, and then Statistics.
It's imperative for physicians, and even as a pre-med taking the MCAT, to have knowledge of how to read a graph, and to spatially analyze of how things change with respect to time. Many concepts of physics are based on this, and chemical kinetics are as well. Those math classes simply burn it into your memory through repetitive problem solving, and even years later if you forget the specifics, you'll be able to recognize easily how to read a graph, understand rates of changes, statistical graphs, etc.
good luck
