  • I want to go to medical school but I am uncomfortable with needles and blood, but I wouldn't go to the extent of calling it a phobia. I want to go into the field of rehabilitation so I know I won't be seeing grotesque things there. What do medical students see and do that involves blood and needles? And do most students become more comfortable with that over time?


  • Yes, I'm sure you become comfortable with it over time. . . and if you go into the medical field, then likely you're going to see somje things that aren't very pretty. I don't know any specific things that do not require that type work - ask the school. But try being around that stuff more even if you're a bit uncomfortable, cos it might help!! Good luck!
