Yeah a friend told me that if you go to medical school, you're going to have to like deal with "disecting" the human body and crap like that. Does anybody know if that's true true. because im so lost on what I'm trying to be and yeah it's pretty sad. careercruising seems to only be helping just a bit but it seems everything i wanna be needs all 3 sciences and a lotta school. or lots of business/stock stuff i hate.

Why wouldn't that be true? A doctor has to know a lot about the body, and why not learn through disecting?

Hmmm. Also if anyone knows, how long would you have to do that for?

Um, if you're afraid of disecting a body, then you shouldn't be a doctor.

all throughout your medical school career practically. it's part of your lab exercises/techniques. it's not just going to be a few classes, it's actually a few months. and then when you branch off into your special field (internal medicine, cardio, ob-gyn), you might even have to return to disecting more dead bodies.
if you are queasy about it, then don't become a doctor. after dead bodies, you have to attend to live humans. most people who want to be a doctor aren't worried about the dead bodies and disecting it... they are worried about the residency period which KILLS you. |

Uh yeah you do have to 'dissect' a human body in med school. It's part of the course to learn about the human anatomy and it will probably take a while- probably a whole term/semester or something.
Also, if you're going to feel queasy about it, you shouldn't consider a medical profession. |

you have to deal with A LOT of bodies
my friend is in med school and we works with a different dead body every 8 weeks (every day they spray it down w/ something that prevents it from decaying) when u have a lecture about muscles, you'll examine the body, next week you'll have a lecture about the brain, and you'll take out the brain and look at it for a while you do that for a year or two then you go more in depth into the field of medicine that u r interested in |

What's so bad about the residency period?I don't want to reiterate what others have said because they're correct. |
