I would like to chime in with all the other people on here cheering you on! Your efficiency as a doctor does not depend on HOW you say things, it depends on what you know and WHAT you say! I think it would really help you to self disclose to your superiors. Many people assume that people stutter because they are nervous and don't know what to say and but if you tell them that you have a stutter and just need people to have a bit more patience to let you finish, they would not make this assumption anymore. The stuttering association in the UK just launched a brilliant campaign showing people from all kinds of professions with the line "I am an actor/I am a lawyer/I am a conference speaker... and I stammer" (British for stutter). Have a look on their website [https://stamma.org/](https://stamma.org/)
