"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 worked around blood and body fluids, describe your experience. If you have not been exposed to seeing blood, describe how you feel you will do when faced with these situations.
