Is it normal that my imagination scares me ?

i do medical studies and when i go to the hospital ,i see blood and some discusting things like opened organs and whatever looks like that , i feel normal at the beginning then i start to imagine what it feels like to be in that situation , the pain ,how some awful injuries could happen, i see the cuts so deeply that i begin to feel too bad :S is it normal ? please,tell me that i'm normal ><

    Witnessing trauma is horrible.

    Perhaps you have chosen the wrong profession. You can not allow yourself to feel this way about every single patient you encounter in your career or you will surely self destruct.
    Think quite seriously about moving to another major, or toughen up.
    I'm not trying to be mean here; just asking you to think this through.

    Well if your imagination didn't scare you, then you wouldn't have bad dreams.
