Making mistakes is part of every profession. Good Doctors became good doctors because they learned from their mistakes.
The vast majority of mistakes do not produce much harm.
I also believe that you are holding yourself to a false standard. The medical profession can actually only explain about 5% of conditions accurately. There is a lot of unknowns - for which Dr's try to do their best with; and often miss.
I'd have a discussion with the medical school staff about your concerns. It is in fact a common one. They should be able to direct you to a staff member will know how to answer your questions and assist you to make your decision to continue or not.
