"I have never been a queasy individual, and I fully understand the types of cases I will see in my career as a physician. I work part-time at our local drop-in shelter and have seen a wide range of situations involving blood and such. 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 gruesome or undesirable situation."

If you have experience working with or observing procedures with blood and bodily fluids, describe your experience and how well you dealt with it. If you have not been exposed to these scenarios, explain how you understand this will be a part of your job duties and how you are prepared to deal with blood and other fluids professionally and without issue.
