My family has always wanted me to become a doctor, plus I've been working really hard to make that happen. I'm studying all the time and doing everything I can to get into medical school. The thing is, I have a big problem that I'm scared to tell anyone about. I'm terrified of blood. Like, really, really scared of it. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick and dizzy. I can't even look at a small cut without feeling disgsted. How can I be a doctor if I can't handle blood? My family is so proud of me for working towards being a doctor. They tell everyone about it. I don't want to let them down, and becoming a doctor has been my dream since childhood. I don't want to give up on this because of my fear so please, if anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it. I'm desperate for help. I don't know who else to turn to. Is there a way to get over this fear?
