Reflection:
Becoming an anesthesiologist sounds interesting, but as to
whether I would want to become one is an entirely different question. I think
that it is something I could possibly
want to look into in the future, but at the same time, I continue to aspire for
my aforementioned goals in past reflections (becoming a gynecologist, novel
writer, etc.). I know people deal with a lot of pain, and that would be the
main reason I’d want to become an anesthesiologist, to take some of that pain
away.
