    Not to be mean or rude, but I don't think the medical field is right for you. Watching Dr. 90210 and having to change the channel does not correlate to being in the OR with a patient cut open in front of you. There is a good amount of exposure to all types of body fluids. If you were "creeped out" and sickend by your high school clinicals...you won't be able to handle a day in the OR of an anesthesiologist or an AA. Sorry if this is brash or harsh, but it is the truth. It doesn't seem like you have much of an idea of what it is like to be in an OR.

    To wrap it up:
    Operations are often graphic
    Bodily fluids are ever present
    Classes include premed bachlor level classes
    Schooling for the AA program is 28 months

    From the sounds of it, you don't have any business in the operating room...sorry!
