I volunteered at the hospital a few days ago and I got the chance to observe and help a PA change a patient's dressing. What I didn't realize was that the patient had a hole in her leg because the doctor had cut away a part of it. So I could see the the skin, tissue, muscle and basically the inside of her leg. I was so excited to be able to see all this and at first I was totally fine. I did think it was a little gross, but definitely more cool than gross. After a while though I started to get really dizzy and a little queasy. This was my first time seeing anything like this, so I think this is why. Will I get used to seeing things like this? What should I do...just continue to expose myself to it and hope that I eventually don't get bothered by it? Thanks!
