Reflection: I don’t think I would like to be a dermatologist. I think this not because I don’t want to enter a medical field, but because I wouldn’t like to see the diseases on the skin. I hate seeing infections and cuts on my body so I don’t think I would be happy examining others people skin.  Also it is a really long career something that I wouldn’t do.
