Reflection: I wouldn't want to be a neonatologist because I don't like to see young children, especially babies, in any sort of pain . I don't think I would be able to function correctly watching and taking care of infants whose very life, in some cases, "hangs by a thread". I don't think I have it in me to take care of sick babies.
