Summary: I would maybe consider becoming a physical therapist. A physical therapist can be a job interest, because it doesn’t involve much of blood involvement as I would say in the medical field. Although, I am still not fully convinced to do something with my life in the Medical Field, but this can still be an option. Becoming a Physical Therapist would be one of my future options to help others out, but not the top choice.
