As a medical student, are you prepared to handle blood and other bodily fluids?

"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'm very excited to begin working with my cadaver during medical school here at Wayne State. I've spent hours volunteering at a drop-in shelter and have seen many situations involving blood. Rather than think about the gore, I focus on the fact that it's a human being who needs my help. I believe this mentality will get me through any gruesome or undesirable situation."

You can keep your answer simple by discussing your ability to handle events involving blood and other bodily fluids. Hopefully, you've thought about this even before considering a future career as a physician. If you have experience handling blood and bodily fluids through previous work experience, now is a great time to discuss that.
