Hey, I'm in medical school in the U.S. I'm thinking about going into PM&R. My stuttering is mild/intermittent, but I've definitely stuttered while talking to patients, during rounds, and making co...

I get it, You're revealing an intimate detail about yourself. That is typically easier in small group settings. This is compounded by the fact that you'll be in a room with your colleagues. There is...

That's a good point. I'm not saying it's right or logical, but it would feel better and be easier for me at this stage of me being more open about my speech. Also, I do genuinely feel like 1:1 or sm...

thanks for the reply but I don't think i'm guessin a whole lot. One girl actually asked me why I repeated "whatever word it was" and we kinda laughed about it. Soon after that she told me she was goin...

I understand completely. Idk how I got over it. Honestly, I don't think I did. It is awkward to let ppl kno but like u said, there is a sense of relief present afterwards and I don't feel as much pres...

yeah I guess I haven't been open about it in the beginning in the past .. but I also don't feel the need to bring it up. Maybe it's just me but I feel more awkward if I bring it up and I know I'll hav...
