"I have never been a queasy individual, and I fully understand the types of cases that I will see in my career as a dentist. I currently work part-time at our local drop-in shelter and have seen many situations involving blood. I don't think about the gore but more about the fact that it's a human who needs my help. I believe this mentality will get me through any undesirable situation."
