Reflection: I wouldn't want to be one because it involves being in a surgery room and that can be scary. In  a surgery room there is a possibility of the person seeing blood and I have a phobia dealing with blood. I don’t think that I'll be comfortable in a place like this so why work there. It's great but it's not for me.
