Self-Reflection-
Hematology is a field that I would consider to pursue in the future. In this field, you can choose to work closely with people or possibly never come in direct contact with your patient, because you are working instead in a lab. Hematology is very extensive into blood and is also diverse in how much you can do in the field. Also, many jobs are included in the field, for example, an oncologist, a bone marrow transplant physician, and a leukemia physician.
