Get ready for a ride! Here is my recommendation. Experience, that's the only way to get over it. You have no idea how many med students lose their lunch and how many times it occurs. Iron stomachs are not genetic, they are made through mental training. This training is founded upon the idea that people become jaded. So what you should do to prepare is attend autopsies, clean toilets, change dipers, anything that will make you encounter disgusting material. THere is no shame in throwing up or gagging because of it. I watched a police officer run out of an autopsy to throw up, the doctors will understand.
