Reflection: Would you like to become one? Why? Why not? I would not like to become a dermatologist because it would be one of the most difficult choices in my life, a third of people who try to become dermatologists fail, it is a very competitive profession. Helping patients with their Botox injections or removing scars is not my passion in life either.
