ok, i'm 15 and getting ready to turn 16 in september, gonna be a sophomore in high school this year.
ok, well here's how it goes: I called the hospital, got redirected about 4 times to the surgery education department of - i dont even know where - and the person on there said you would have to be 18 to scrub in to the surgery to be an observer - and she was telling me about how it is extremely traumatic, but I really want to see if I'm going to be able to handle it, because i want to go to med school and eventually become a surgeon, and i wanna see if i can handle it NOW, which would be GREAT, or if I'm going to have to expose myself to things a little more. so, she told me that their place "was a separate entity" from my local hospital (which i called originally), so what should i do? I REALLY want to shadow a surgeon, but I'm still stumped how to go about it
