    Great advice! I do imaging for OR (R.T.) and just graduated a year ago from Rad school. Yeah, spot on. Get ready for smells and sights that you never thought you'd see, Femurs wrapped around the patient's neck, acetabulum blowouts, etc. The only time I felt like I was gonna pass out was when I saw a new trauma nurse check to see that the Foley balloon had inflated properly and by tugging on it, the unresponsive PT's hips lifted off the trauma bed! Errrrrrrghhh!

    I forced myself to look at blood, wounds, feces, etc. to desensitize myself to it. It seemed to help. I was also really into watching TV shows where they're doing cosmetic surgeries or cutting away skin and fat off of obese patients. It's a bit different when you're up close.

    Love your stories Dr Parker, thank you for sharing your resident stories, its always a pleasure to hear them. Well, my first experience in the OR as an xray tech was was nerve racking especially when draping the Carm, I was so scared of contaminating the sterile field while doing so. Then, after doing it so many times it was no big deal. Anyway, Thank you so much for sharing😀😀!!!

    I'm not Dr. Parker, but I'm about to graduate and go to med school so I feel like I could offer some advice. That being said, major in whatever you're best at, and whatever you're truly interested in. If you love history, major in history and just make sure you do your pre-med prereqs. If you know you wanna do something involving science, biochemistry is a popular one because it incorporates chemistry and biology equally. The most common major that i've come across for pre med students however, is biology. That's like the universal major for students wanting to go to med school it seems. At the same time, when applying to medical schools, being different looks good, they don't want everyone majoring in the same thing with the same grades, same everything, so also keep that in mind. PS. "ratemyprofessor" will be your best friend. USE IT. lol

    I agree. The most important thing is being able to good grades. Personally, I really enjoyed biomedical engineering. I learned about the surgical instruments, imaging modalities, and got a solid foundation in the basic sciences. Your degree can also serve as a back-up in case you change your mind, or supplement your medical degree. A good example would be business majors that invest their money or start a practice. Or Spanish majors that work in underserved communities. Overall, my advice would be to study hard in all your classes, even if they don't seem relevant (you use acid-base chemistry, physics, biochem, statistics, etc.); and also to have interesting experiences. Once you're a med student/resident/physician you'll have less time to learn a language, visit a foreign country, go to a music festival, whatever. Just develop good study habits and enjoy the learning process and you'll be fine. - 2nd year med student

I suspect that the only reason I did not have a problem in the delivery room when I had my two boys was because I was in such agonizing pain, no epidural opted for a pudenal instead. Than once they were born I was so happy to see them I did not see a thing else!!!
