I hate Math but considering in Biostatistics?

I (31 F) worked in clinical, emergency, and combat medicine in my 7 years of the military, so I have a fairly strong medical background. When I got medically retired, I applied to a job rehabilitation program through Veterans Affairs to get my schooling paid for in a different area of focus because my service connected disabilities make it impossible to continue a hands on medical career.

My counselor approved for a Bachelors in Business Administration, and we will be discussing Masters Degree programs after Fall ‘25 semester, so that’s what I’ve been pursuing. I’ve always struggled with math, but since going back to school I’ve completed Applied Calculus and Elementary Statistics while maintaining a 4.0. I hated calculus, but surprisingly enjoyed statistics. During one of the classes the professor spoke a little bit about different fields and I became really drawn to Biostatistics.

I have not been able to stop thinking about it. It feels like it could be a second chance to continue my passion for saving lives without being stopped by physical limitations. The only thing that worries me is that the result of one of my disabilities is issues retaining information/memory loss. If someone asked me a calculus question now, I’d probably cry…but I got an A in the class.

I know I could get through the Masters program because I’m so passionate about making a positive difference in peoples lives, and I’ve done much harder/scarier things than challenge myself academically. However, I’m worried about being thrown a math problem in an interview or in a meeting and then having to immediately answer it with no resources? What is the norm for the field? Is it a bunch of math geniuses that I don’t stand a chance working with? Or people like me who can do the math efficiently but might need a formula sheet in my back pocket to peek at?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
