Thanks alot for the reply- Great words of advice! I normally dont get to talk about this topic to alot of people so I am seeing this as a opportunity to learn. My apologies if my questions are too personal, however I am interested in what others have learned with it. There really isnt much studies on stuttering in terms of clinical treatments! What would you like to specialize in? Do you talk to a therapist or see a speech therapist? What kind of breathing exercises do you do? >Your stutter, while it will present challenges, will bring you closer to your patients as it shows a vulnerability. how would it bring you closer to patients? Patients may see the vulnerability and therefor be more prone to open up? If your up for it, would you be able to explain about what you learned so far about stuttering? Do you feel like it is a learned behaviour, where we have neuropathological defects in areas in the brain that respond allow fluency between sounds and facial/jaw muscles? Or do you think that there is no pathological differences, and what we have is just learned? Have you learned about any medication that could help with fluency? Ive only heard about dopamine antagonists, and perhaps drugs like gabapentin/pregabalin. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to me... I can tell you'll make a great doctor already!
