Reflection: Would you like to be one? Wgy? Why not?

            I think that I wouldn’t like to be one because it’s a situation where you have to think or act fast. Another thing is that your patient can be dying too and that can lead to big problems. One reason why I wouldn't like to be one is because I would get really nervous, It will get me ill instead.
