I'm taking an anatomy class at a local university which involved working with prosected cadavers. Long story short, 20 minutes in I passed out and had to be carried out of the lab (talk about embarrassing moments...). This is only the third week of a 12-week course. How do I get through this? Is this a sign that medicine isn't for me?
To note: I have never had a vasovagal response before, I did eat breakfast/sleep/drink water before lab, and I've seen plenty of "gross" things before (including cadavers, though from a bit of a distance).
