i shadowed a dentist and an IM physician over spring break. the IM was alright to see. we went to do his rounds at 0800. he had 5 or 6 patients in when he usually has only1 or 2. i did get to go oin to see two. basically we just had some conversations with the people. then we went on over to the clinic. i mainly sat in his office the whole time. about every third or fourth patient i would get to go in for tendonitis or hay fever.
blood doesn't bother me at all. i am more nervous of how uncomfortable i would be (think of how the patient is feeling during these) during the OB rotation or maybe doing some GI stuff. would volunteering help one to realize more if they had the stomach for the job? or, should you just forget about it and realize that you would get desensitized to this stuff eventually?
thanks
