Do you think you would like to be one? Why or Why not?

I don't think I would like to become one for many reasons, mainly since it doesn't interest me. The idea of working with patients that I have to conduct a treatment for them using radiation therapy scares me. Also delivering the idea to them and messing up and telling them the false information also scares me.
