Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

            I would not like to be one because you have to have steady hands and make sure you don’t hurt your patient. It looks painfully and I just wouldn’t like to be one. Put I would like to try this procedure in inserting needles onto my body.
