reassure

Are both these sentences correct, and do they mean the same:


a) "As much as I would like to tranquilize you, I must say that I'm not a doctor, and you should listen to a doctor about that."


b) "As much as I would like to reassure you, I must say that I'm not a doctor, and you should listen to a doctor about that."

To put a tracking collar on an elephant, you first have to tranquilize it by shooting a tranquilizing dart into it. Then it falls and is relatively immobile, which facilitates the process of putting on the collar. We don't say "tranquilize" with a person unless they are going wild and causing harm to themselves or others.
