Need opinions please! It was my first time shadowing in oral surgery, watching a pretty intense wisdom tooth extraction. I really don’t think I’m squeamish, but I passed out after maybe 20 minutes into observing. It felt like all the blood just pooled up in my legs.. I bet if I was sitting I would’ve been fine. And of course I didn’t eat breakfast that morning. Will this be a problem for me as an incoming D1 student? Has anyone else experienced anything similar/ how have you gotten over the more gruesome produces? I really do enjoy dentistry and I’m excited to start school, Im just worried this could become a consistent issue. I’m not sure if something like this is common.
