Reflection:

I would not to become an Ambulance Dispatcher because I wouldn’t be emotionally stable to handle difficult situations that I’d get emotionally involved in. I, myself have a problem with anxiety and I wouldn’t have the patience to talk, multitask and to try to calm down a civilian all at the same time.
