You like order. You enjoy helping people get better. You know that curing someone of an illness is more than just giving them medicine, it's about applying the correct tests and treatments to make the recovery possible. You like things to be orderly, using your knowledge of data and procedures to apply, prepare and perform all necessary tests and treatments. Without you, we'd never have the right diagnosis. You like that.
