Fear of Hurting Others is Holding Me Back

So one hesitation about attending medical school and becoming a physician is the thought that I would be responsible for someone else’s life. On the one hand, what a great thing that I would be able to make the difference in someone else’s life, hopefully for the better. But, on the other hand, what if I cause someone injury or death (of course accidentally)? Is this a fear that premeds and physicians have? Is this a fear that people overcome? How do people handle this? Does this mean that maybe I am not cut out to be a physician? I have the grades, the scores, the desire to make a difference in people’s lives, and experience. I am ready to apply, except for this one fear.

Thank you so much for any thoughts on this topic.

Lots of specialties where it’s hard to hurt, chances are they won’t let u graduate if you’re a threat.

I say go for it
