Hi all,
After shadowing a podiatrist, I realized I am quite uncomfortable with diabetic foot wounds and ulcers. If I go down this path of becoming a podiatrist, is there any way I can avoid seeing patients with diabetes? What about during residency? My mentality might change down the line, but as of now I can't help but cringe when I see diabetic foot wounds.
