<p>I have a strong interest in becoming a psychiatrist; however, I understand that in order to do so, I'd have to go to medical school. I become nauseated when talking or thinking about blood and other bodily flluids. Is this going to hold me back from being successful in medical school, or will I become accustomed to all of the blood and gore? Again, I'm really interested in the field of psychiatry, and I certainly have the grades and intellectual ability (I think) to make it to medical school, but I just want to know if my weak stomach will keep me from that. </p>
<p>Please, don't answer with anything that isn't grounded in fact or your own experience. But I really appreciate any information or advice you have to offer.</p>
<p>well looking at gory stuff is a large part of Medical School for the first 3 years, maybe 2. Have you considered being a clinical psychologist. Its kinda like being a psychiatrist except you cant perscribe patients medication. Another job to consider is mental health therapist. To be a therapist you need to go into social work</p>
<p>No, I haven’t really looked into that before, but it sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for the tips!</p>
<p>If you go to med school, you’ll get used to the gore and blood.</p>
<p>I sure hope so. It’s expensive enough.</p>
<p>My dad isn’t a doctor, but, as part of his job, he sits in on surgeries where they are using his products. Whenever I’ve talked to him about the gore and how he did with it and if I would want to do something involving it, ect, he always says “you get used to it”. Though he has seen many students sitting in on their first surgeries faint from the sights, so I guess you aren’t the only weak-stomached person taking such a route.</p>
<p>That’s good to know. I’d probably be a fainter at first also :-). What kinds of products does he sell?</p>
