I've been reading these posts for awhile and have never posted anything before. I'm currently a post-bacc student and in the process of completing pre-reqs for medical school. And although I am sure I want to be a doctor, something just happened at work that makes me feel unsure if I would be a good doctor and that worries me.
A coworker of mine who sits a few feet away just had a seizure and instead of springing to action or calling 911, I completely froze. A ton of thoughts were racing through my head...I knew you had to turn the person to the side and make sure nothing was obstructing his pathway but I was just completely frozen and unsure and didn't want to do anything deleterious to his health. Now I'm questioning whether or not I would even make a good doctor...
I know there are some members on SDN who are very vocal and critical with their opinions and that's fine but a few words of encouragement and understanding would also be great as well.
