Reflection: I would not like to be an oncologist because it seems like it would be very depressing and stressful job. It feels as if it would put an enormous weight on my shoulders. I wouldn’t like to be the one who has to save a person’s life or end one by a mistakes/ It seems like a high stakes job.
