You will see dead bodies only in pre-med/med school, but then you can choose your specialty and it doesn't have to deal with dead bodies!

Actually Green Eyes, when someone says "I am a doctor" the nearly universal meaning of that is " I am a physician". Those with PhDs or other doctorates will say what they are such as "I am a psychologist" or a professor, biologist, chiropractor, dentist, etc. They do still introduce themselves by Dr. Smith. The title Doctor before someone's name is a little more ambiguous, but "I'm a doctor" is almost always physician. Think about it, do you come running if you hear someone yell " I need a doctor!!!"? I sure hope not. It's not really related to the question though.

I'm a doctor, and I almost never see dead bodies. (I just make them look that way for a few hours!)
When you get a bit older and learn how to type the words "you" and "because", you might be more ready to go through what it takes to earn a medical degree.
We all had to do SOMETHING we didn't like in medical school. I didn't like sticking my finger up people's bottoms or doing gyn exams. I chose a specialty where I don't ever have to those things.
If you wnat to be a doctor, you'll do what it takes. And yes, it's a difficult journey to become a doctor, and a stressful but rewarding career.

I am a Doctor, but I don't see any dead bodies. The term "Doctor" indicates someone with a "Doctorate" (PhD) degree or a medical degree, so it depends which of the two you want to be.....
Not all medical doctors see dead bodies regularly, anyway, although I would think that you must see at least a few dead bodies during medical school...

For me medical school was an ordeal. Internship and a pediatric residency were only slightly less arduous. As a pediatrician, I never got used to seeing a dead child. I still have nightmares.
Dead adults bothered me less, but a lot more in recent years, I suppose since "Time's winged chariot [is] hurrying near."

The first semester of med school involved working on a human cadaver for hours every day, but one quickly gets used to this. The second semester where I went involved working on a preserved human brain. We don't really see many dead bodies. That job is for morticians.

I am not a doctor but am a healer and I have no problem in seeing a sick or dead person or animal. You get used to that sort of thing.

well lets hope if you are a doctor you don't have that many dead bodies because it isn't good for business! when you see someone so sick and suffering (I worked for hospice) death brings on a calm for them and they finally look at peace and out of pain.. when I worked at the hospital, I would have to take bodies to the morgue, it isn't that bad.
