Jobs in Medicine?? (for the squeamish)?

[Harlow A]

I love the idea of helping people in medicine! (In medicine not an old people's home or social worker ar anything else!) I mean helping people when they are sick and ill, but the problem is I am quite squeamish! I HATE injections and i could NEVER give one! Is there any job in the whole of the medicine field thing that you won't have to give like injections or hurt someone (even if it is to help them!) I mean like my friens's mum is a radio-ologist(dunno how it is spelt!) and she see's if people have cancer!)
So can you tell me please a few jobs that you can be squeamish for!
Thank you!

There is a job called a Clinical Research associate. You work for a biotech company who has patients in their clinical trials. With a biology or some scientific degree, you can get trained to review their charts and report their progress or lack therof to the company. You get to travel alot, you learn alot about drugs and diseases. You can be on the ground floor of a new drug being approved and last but not least, once you have a year or two of experience you get paid 70,000 a year or more. really!
Its a good job to have.

so you don't like old people.
you don't like blood or injections.
and you cant spell radiologist, even with a spell checker.

How about a registration clerk, or gift shop clerk.

I think the only way of helping people would be pshychology. This way you are still helping but not with physical ailments.

Just because you're squeamish doesn't mean you aren't capable of getting used to it.

I don't think ANYONE really ENJOYS having to deal with needles and poking people or seeing blood or cleaning up vomit and feces. But it's part of the job. The more you are exposed to something, the more you get comfortable with it, and if you challenge yourself you might be surprised what you are capable of handling.
