The transition from the everyday person, patient perspective to PreMed has been rather amazing. Its crazy how a few months ago I could never see myself doing any of this and now I'm a PreMed doing his post bach, stressing out over classes, calling Med schools to verify requirements on a regular basis and talking to others in the Medical field. I'm learning so much about Physiology, hearing professors spurt out topics that would make your mother blush and seeing things that would make some people hurl and being shocked that in most situations none of it bothers me (sometimes I even wonder why I am not disturbed and then we get a quiz and I don't have time to think about that anymore). I grew up believing that Doctors were super men and women (wrong). One minute menstruation is that uncomfortable subject that means giving your GF a back rub isn't leading anywhere and the next minute you are expected to understand the purpose of uterine lining and its functions.
What was your transition like? How has your thinking changed since you became a premed or entered the Medical field? Does anything still gross you out or freak you out? Was it surprising to discover that Doctors are normal humans, and some even have mental, emotional and health issues of their own?
