Oh Bath, I hear you. My dreams of becoming a surgeon were stolen by my blood-injection-injury phobia. I fought it so hard for so long, did everything the needlephobe report said might work and I still get syncope. I can't be a doctor when just looking at an injury will make me sick and pass out. I dunno how I coped with my niece, and I wish I could do it again. Who knows, maybe its telling me to be a paediatric surgeon!

I still don't know what I want to do now. People keep saying midwife. Guess I need to find out if I am going to be able to do that without losing my lunch.

I would like it to get easier with practice - I am not too old yet.
