Been thinking a little about whether I should really study medicine, after my job attachment revealed that I may be quite uncomfortable with seeing needles and stuff being injected into patients. Well, humans are supposedly very adaptable creatures, and seeing enough of the same thing would make you numb to it apparently.
But that's not really what I want. I don't want to become numbed to it, and become unfeeling towards patients or something like that. I don't want to just view them as just things that need to be injected. True, it may be less difficult for me if I do that, but I don't think that's right. Knowing their pain is important, but once again, if I keep getting light-headed like I did during the job attachment, that's not gonna work out as well.
Just need to draw the fine line between sympathising with patients and not getting too affected by their pain, or emotions possibly. Perhaps all this will come with experience. Hopefully it will. Only time will tell, I guess.
Wonder if there really is anything that can't be changed by the mind, be it fears or mindsets. People find some changes impossible, but perhaps it's just very hard. It is possible, it's just about how far you're willing to go to overcome it.
