Medical student as a stutter Hey guys..... I wanted some honest opinions. I am a Stutter as long as I remember and I would grade it mild to moderate, depending on the situation. I have tried some therapies but they seldom work. I was kind of introvert and only studied during my school years, that made me the topper and I landed in Medical School. I am currently in my second year, and I have noticed that it bothers me. I stammer more in vivas and in front of the patient. I haven't been ever ridiculed by my peers or my professors, though. I only get Just Pass results in my vivas. I really like this profession and want to become a doctor. But I always doubt myself as to the quality of doctor I will be. I am studying in India at present and want to go to Usa for higher studies but the fear of a new country prevents me to even start preparation for USMLE. I know I can crack the theories but I know I will be laughed at in the interviews. I am at a loss, should I continue being in this profession? I have thought of dropping out of medschool and doing something low profile, but never had the courage to do so. I just wanted advises and opinions to Can a Stutter make a good doctor, or should I think of some back up plans?
