Yea, so maybe I was on the fence before about the whole medical/pathology thing. I am no longer. I just tried to watch a lumbar puncture on youtube and nearly passed out. PASSED FREAKIN' OUT. I'm a loser. Why does that happen? Is it genetic? I know my aunt following injection of any sort would pass out five to ten minutes later. As I watched, I didn't have any negative thoughts. I wasn't scared. I didn't feel panicky. I just noticed I started to sweat a little bit and get light-headed. It was weird. It must be psychological, but I wouldn't know how to counteract it since I didn't have any thoughts about it. Maybe that's the problem ... I should think more??? In any case, I think for now, med school is off the list of things to do.
