As a medical student or a doctor,do you be afraid of blood?When the patient is badly bleeding what is your feeling?Or during an operation when the doctor is cutting the wound what do you feel?Do you have a feeling of nausea or vomiting?Do you even fall down in a swoon? Who can give me the reasons?And how can we work out the problem?

As a medical student it is obvious that you have to deal with blood and others which the common people react with nausea or vomiting but being a medical student one cant and never act like that for long time. Else he/she has to leave medical science and should switch over to other stream.so to be a doctor you not only have to study and but have to have a bold heart a dedication ,fixed aim and strong determination to overcome all these challenges.

Thank you for your suggestion.I gradually get used to the blood.I know I am not that person who is afraid of blood.And now I become more brave than the past.You are right I must have a bold heart to face everything I meet in my job.Cos it is my job I have to overcome the challenge.
