CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

I would not like to be an Electroneurodiagnostic technologist because I would not like to tell a patient that they are suffering with a tumor or a stroke. I would also not like to be in this position because you don’t get paid that much and you have done this much work to stay in an office, get results, and tell someone that they have an abnormality and have to see them crushed.
