Reflection: I think I would like to become a Electrocardiography because it is helping people to see if something is wrong with your heart and if it is working properly.When I was in the hospital they too did that to me just to see if my heart was damaged or needed to be seen by a higher doctor its almost the same thing like getting an ultrasound check but this one is for your heart it does not  hurt just checking your heart and the heart waves so yes I would like to become one.
